Recently, I have been transcribing and annotating a number of news clippings that affect families related to my research who come from Co. Louth, Armagh & Monaghan in the 1800s. There are dozens if not more than a hundred other family names included in these news clippings, many of whom I cannot identify. Even so, I decided to post what I know so far and hope I can fill in the gaps as I learn more. The recent entries that may be of interest to this list include (not all the annotated names are mentioned beneath): 1883 June 9 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1883Jun9-GILMORE-obit.html>. Dundalk Democrat. Obituary of Dr. Samuel GILMORE. I do not know who all the people who attended this funeral are, but I have included what I know. The GILMOREs of Liscalgot and the JACKSONs of Urker were very closely related -- with more than one intermarriage tying the two families together over many generations. 1882 May 30 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1882May30-RevMcKEOWN.html>. NAMES: Dr. McKEOWN - probably Rev. Patrick McKEOWN of Claranagh - or someone related to him. 1842 February 3 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1842Feb3-POWELL.html>. NAMES: Christopher ARMSTRONG; Gordon S. HOLMES; Henry McCABE; Widow HUGHES; Thomas POWELL. 1791 August 18. <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1791Aug18-DONALDSON.html> NAMES: John DONALDSON; Thomas MARTIN. 1841 September 11 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1841Sept11-TIPPING.html>.

SHEIL; William Sherman CRAWFORD. An account of Protestants & Catholics protesting unjust tithes. February 11, 1834 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1834Feb11.html>. I know little about the raids on illegal stills, but I liked the phrase: /midnight legislation. / September 8, 1870 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1870Sept8TuapekaTimes.html> I would be interested to learn more about the printer John MATTHEWS of Dundalk. /The Peace Preservation Act in Ireland/. Tuapeka Times. 1881 Mar 12 Cullyhanna Land League article <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1881Mar12-LandLeague.html>. This article mentions several County Armagh men who were both Orangemen and members of the Land League. Of particular interest to me, is the mention of David JACKSON of Urker near Crossmaglen in South Armagh. He was not only my great-great-grandfather, but also the father of Sir Thomas JACKSON, the focal point of my research. *NOTE*: There are two ways to keep on top of updates on my site. The first is to click on the *NEW* hyperlink, which takes you to: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/misc/whatsnew.htm The other way is to seek out the page where they most commonly will be, in this case, the *newsclippings* hyperlink is a subset of the *documents* page: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/newsclippings-page.htm One other way to access what may interest you is to use a site search with the name of the person and/or townland that interests you. Because this is a free-standing web site, you only get those entries. *NOTE*: This is a total volunteer venture on my part -- no adds, no fees, no nothing. -- Sharon Oddie Brown, Roberts Creek, BC, Canada.
