Hello Peter, The Parish of Aghagallon is in County Antrim although on the Armagh border. The closest towns in Armagh are Lurgan and Moira, the closest in Antrim are Lisburn and Crumlin Here is a link to an 1834 map of County Antrim http://www.ulsterancestry.com/Map-Antrim.html You will find Aghagallon down at the extreme right hand corner of Lough Neagh. best regards Robert > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:58:59 +1100 > Subject: Re: [IRL-ANTRIM] Brigan, Breakins, Braddin and Quin > > Ivy, > > Looking at Google maps, the correct spelling of the place looks to be > Aghagallon in County Armagh.

Robert, I'm sure Ivy thanks you for your added response. Google has it Armagh, and Wikipedia says near Armagh town of Lurgan. So you'll excuse a poor boy from Down Under. Looks like on of those situations where either the border has changed regularly or it depends which side of the street you're on. My advice to Ivy is to check both counties when looking for BDM data. At least we have given her the corrected spelling. She should be able to find it on any map from there. Just watch those narrow roads when driving around Ireland. Peter
