It is also possible that in addition to being a townland name, that Brackagh is also a district name. That district name will not appear in the townland index (see http://www.seanruad.com) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

    1. [NIR-TYRONE] Aughnacloy Preasbyterian & Carnteel COI BMD Records for Cobeans
    2. Jim White
    3. Hi List: I have been advised by a fellow List Member, that LDS have not microfilmed, any significant BMD Records for Either Aughnacloy Presbyterian, or Carnteel COI Churches, because the Presbyterian & COI Churches would not give LDS access to their records. All relevant records are held at PRONI, and an independent researcher must be hired to obtain the relevant records. Before hiring an independent researcher, I was wondering if any one had access to the following BMD Records ? It is my understanding that this entire family lived on Skey Town Land. a) Marriages at Aughncloy Presbyterian Church 1) John Cobean and Mary "Unknown", ca 1810-11, or possibly later. Ontario Census records indicate their 1st son was born ca 1812, but John was born ca 1794, thus was ca 16 in 1810, and this may have been too young. John's father was also a John Cobean (Cobane), I think. Thus marriage my have been a few years after 1810. 2) Thomas Cobean & Eliza "Unknown" (but also possibly Cobean), ca 1818, as marriage of 1st child was Dec 1820. Father was also probably John Cobean , born ca 1752. b) Births at Aughnacloy Presbyterian Church 1) Alexander Cobean: born ca 1812 +, father John 2) Agnes/Nancy Cobean: born ca 1821, father John 3) John Cobean: born ca Dec 1820, father Thomas 4) Priscilla Cobean: born ca 1823, father Thomas c) Births at Carnteel COI Church (since these records are not available at Aughnacloy) 1) Robert Cobean: born ca 1805, father John 2) Edward Cobean: born ca 1808 I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have access to the above records. Kindest Regards Jim White Naples, Florida

    2. Andrew, Tullyreavy is the name of a townland 242 acres in size, it is *not* one farm. The parcels of land that made up separate farms were leased from a landlord. In Griffith's Valuation, there were about 17 leaseholders in Tullyreavy. See http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/tyrone/desertcreat.htm (and use the "find" tool to look for all instances of the townland name. From the earlier BEAVER post, it also looks like that townland name may have additionally been used as the name of the "big house" where the landlord lived. -----Original Message----- From: Hamilton, Andrew <AH515164@ncr.com> To: nir-tyrone@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, 19 Apr 2008 12:45 pm Subject: Re: [NIR-TYRONE] Tully Reavy House & BEAVERs FYI, my GG grandfather Robert Hamilton was born in Tullyreavey in 1874 to a William and Margaret Hamilton.
