Good Day and thanks for adding me to your mailing list. My Great Great Grandfather was William Elliott (1833 - 1874) born somewhere I haven't yet found in Fermanagh. His father was also William. He married Ellen Armstrong (1839 - 1907) in *Trory* on 6 Feb 1855 . Her father was Edward Armstrong. They had 4 children born in Fermanagh - Margaret Jane 1858; Elizabeth 1860; Sarah 1862; and Annie 1864. By 1867 they were in St. Helens, Lancashire when their son Thomas was born. They went on to have 2 more children, Rebecca in 1869 (my great grandmother) and Susan in 1873. I am informed that the family were strong Orangemen and continued to be so when they crossed the Irish Sea. I and another relative have suspicions that there is a link to "Orange Peggy"- "Queen of Trasna" but as yet have been unable to confirm this. I am hoping to connect with persons interested in this line and look forward to being part of the group! Sue Winn
My 4 times gt grandfather was Rev.George Armstrong from Fermanagh born about 1760/1765. I think Inniskillen. Perhaps related to Ellen Arnstrong?
