I am posting this post in the hope of further understand my own surname that is very common to northeast Ulster, that of Morgan. I have discovered a lot on the O’Morgans of Ulster, however my leads are exhausted and need help to fill in their story. I first read MacLysaght description of Morgan as ‘a Welsh name numerous in Oriel’. I have since also read that MacLysaght never thought the family to be Welsh. It would seem for good reason: I know the O’Morgans of Armagh and Louth used the Irish form O’Muireagain; and I believe the common O’Muireagain pedigree (that of the Ui Fiachach Tuirtre) is the pedigree of Flann O’Muireagain, Erenagh of Antrim, who died 1096. In the former Ui Tuirtre land of the barony of Antrim can be found the ‘Tuath Muintir Muireagain’ (part of North Clanboy and now the parishes of Rathcavan and Glenwhirry). In parish of Rathcavan is townland of Lisnamurrikin or in English ‘Fort of Ui Muireagain’. These place names would explain the small cluster of nineteenth century Morgans found on the east side of Lough Neagh. However I have found the majority of nineteenth century Morgans in Ulster were centered on the border area of Armagh, Down and Louth; and until recently I was struggling with the Ua Muireagain place names I had found being in the north Armagh (plus two others in Tryone). This placed them far from where I was finding sixteenth and seventeenth O’Morgans. Last week was good to me for I found in fifteen century Papal letters: Corneilus MacMurchaydh alias O’Murigan, along with his proctor Donald O’Murghan. Conor and Donald where both vicars of Aghaloo; putting them within 1.3 miles of abbey of Tynan. Which I would suggest points to a continuation of the family of Mael Muire Ua Muirigan, Erenagh of Tynan, who died in 1072. The local family to Aghaloo is the MacMurchadha of Muntir Birn, who lived in this cantred up until a feud with the local branch of the O’Neils. Which I read led them to moving to Fews in south Armagh, where they settled under another branch of the O’Neils. (The surname Morgan outside Ulster is typically from the Irish dynastic name O’Murchadhain the diminutive of O’Murchadha) So I believe like elsewhere in Ireland Morgan and Murphy are related names. This said I believe until DNA proves otherwise that the MacMurphys of Armagh are related to their neighbours; the MacMorgans and O’Morgans of counties Armagh, Down and Louth. I have present what I believe the facts tell me, though I am sure that the is much I have not discovered about the Ulster Morgans … (like where is the townland of Aghamacmoregan?) So I thanks you in advance for any help or stories that might enlighten me to the history of the Morgans of Ulster. Yours, Bernard Morgan. _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.

Dear listers I recently found a clue for the birthplace of my great grandfather John CRAIG and I now believe he was born in the parish of Ardstraw, co Tyrone. As he was born about 1836 and the Presbyterian registers for Ardstraw start c1831 there is a chance I might find his baptism there. Could anyone recommend a private researcher who is not connected to the bigger Irish research companies? If so would you please contact me off list at kerriea@aapt.net.au Many thanks Kerrie Australia

Hi Roy Thanks for the comments - it was born out of my own frustrations in locating places hence the detailed townlands in SE Derry and SW Antrim plus a few in Tyrone :>) and so I'm glad to see others benefiting. I would love to add the Townlands as these are of course the key, and your suggestion would be a way around the huge effort required to digitise them. Unfortunately it isn't quite that easy and there are a number of issues - to extend the map much further needs a bit of a rethink in several areas which will allow it to expand and also make it a lot faster. If I can sort it out I will certainly take you up on your offer - you will probably live to regret it! I suspect my eyes will never quite be the same again.

Dear Bill, Thank you for the informative and speedy reply. I appreciate your sending me the gravestone inscription. I notice in Sharon's work there is another (perhaps) Ann McCann born in 1820 who also died in 1872. She is not listed on the stone. I realize these two gals may be the same person...but Sharon listed them separately. If you have access to the gravestone inscriptions, may I impose upon you to see if an Ann McCann or Ann Hazleton is buried in Shankill in 1872? I don't have enough knowledge of the family I am researching to be sure that Ann Hazleton and Patrick McCann married. Their son Robert McCann who emigtated was a Catholic. I am assuming that most Hazletons were not. Correct? Do you have an email address for Sharon?

I have finally completed my map of parishes (and some townlands) in Northern Ireland. It has been a fascinating journey (on map) for me and I now know a lot more about Ireland! For those who haven't visited as yet, the map shows the outlines of all parishes in NI overlaid onto Google Maps and so it is possible to see the them in relation to roads and landmarks and in addition by turning on the satellite photographs, to see the boundaries in relation to the Earth. In areas where Google have added high resolution images (mainly Down and the Belfast area, but they appear to be adding more on a regular basis at the moment) it is possible to see the actual boundaries in the hedgerows, streams and roads. If you have any ideas for additions to the map - features or places - please let me know. I am keen to complete the rest of Ulster but I haven't been able to find good quality maps showing townlands apart for Northern Ireland where I am using OSNI 1 inch to the mile maps. If you are aware of a source of such maps, please let me know. To go to the map please use and bookmark KiwiCelts.com <http://kiwicelts.com> as I intend to relocate the map in the near future to a different url. The maps are based as closely as possible on Griffiths' definition of the parishes. One surprising discovery I made was that the excellent indexes of townlands at Sean Ruad and Ireland.com, both based on the 1851 /General Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, parishes and Baronies of Ireland/., differ significantly from Griffiths in some areas. I have not been able to find an explanation for these differences - if you know why, please contact me. Finally I would like to thank the many people who have helped and offered sage advice! -- Kind Regards Murray Lynn Christchurch New Zealand Visit us at KiwiCelts.com <http://kiwicelts.com>

Murray, Congratulations on producing such a fine resource. I am sure it will help greatly in everyone's research. Here's a question. How about adding townlands to the map? Perhaps the coding could be farmed out in a kind of cooperative effort. I would be delighted to help if it is not too complicated. Cheers, Roy
