Hello everyone - I'm new to the list, so here goes... I have a Robert Armstrong, born about 1806 in Ireland (don't know where) who married a Frances Ann, born around 1816, also in Ireland (somewhere). After coming to Canada, they had eleven children, all in Ontario, starting in the Ottawa area and moving southward towards Middlesex County (London). Their first child, Alicia, married Angus Perkins; they are my third great grandparents. The reason I'm posting on the Tipperary list is because of what's engraved on Frances Ann's headstone. It reads: "In memory of Frances Ann, beloved wife of Robert Armstrong / died April 19, 1894 / Granddaughter of Sir Francis Hugh Massey of / Castle Suir, Queen's County, Ireland" After some searching, I don't think Francis Hugh was a Sir as much a Baron (excuse my ignorance in this regard, Canada's a little shy on formal title) decended from Hugh Massy, the 1st Baron Massy found in Burke's Peerage. I also notice that Castle Suir is (and perhaps always was?) in Tipperary County, rather than Queen's. So my challenge is this, I think I know who the grandfather is in the Peerage (Francis Hugh Massy, born about 1790) but I'm having trouble connecting my Frances Ann through one of his children - below: ........ 2 Francis Hugh Massy b: Abt. 1830 d: March 3, 1901 ............ +Gertrude Masterton Walter b: Abt. 1830 m: February 14, 1889 d: July 29, 1919 ........ 2 Daniel Molloy Massy, Col. b: Abt. 1830 ............ +Sophia Grant b: Abt. 1830 m: October 21, 1876 d: July 16, 1919 ........ 2 Anne Bomford Massy b: Abt. 1830 ............ +John Henry St. George Whitty b: Abt. 1830 m: September 21, 1871 ........ 2 Jane Adelaide Massy b: Abt. 1830 d: April 3, 1906 ............ +Austin Damer Cooper b: Abt. 1830 m: April 29, 1886 d: Bef. 1906 I'd sure appreciate any help anyone can offer. I'm completely unfamiliar with research in Ireland (I'm just starting to direct my research there) but I'm keen to learn! And while I've got your attention, can someone explain the difference between this list and the CoTipperary-L@rootsweb.com one? Thanks so much for any help!
