Hi Mary -- Did your family have any connection to the linen trade? If so, you might want to find a copy of "Linen, Family and Community in Tullylish, County Down, 1690-1914," by Marilyn Cohen, Dublin, Four Courts 1997, for background to your research.

Thankyou Jean. At some of the Baptisms William Phair, / Fair, was said to be a Weaver. In 1863 1864, William Phair was the Occupier of a total of 16 acres. I dont know what he would have grown, whether it was Flax or for Dairy cattle. Did some work part time in the linen factory ? So that he had 2 occupations. I will try to obtain that Book, it should give me more of a Picture.Thankyou again, Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean R." <[email protected]> > Hi Mary -- Did your family have any connection to the linen trade?
