Dave: Rev. William James STRONGE, [1841-1910] b. Co. Down Just returned from 4 weeks in Ireland - had a wonderful trip and visited old STRONGE farms in Co. Down and BERRY homesteads in Killeshandra Co. Cavan. Ellen Irwin BERRY [1850-1937] is my g.grandmother. Her husband, the Rev. William James STRONGE is my g. grandfather, b. 1841 at Garvaghy, Kinallen Co. Down [1-2 miles west of Dromara]. The first 3 of their 10 children were born in Killeshandra, Cavan: 1. Mary Anne STRONGE b. Jun.11.1875 died in infancy or as young child. 2. Florence Augusta STRONGE b. Aug.10.1876 d. 1961 3. Emily Euphemia STRONGE b. Dec.13.1878 d. 1947 In 1867 William James STRONGE was ordained a Presbyterian minister in Killeshandra, where he ministered for 12 yrs. I have not yet made any ancestral connection to Cavan with W.J. Stronge but believe there must be some. His father was James STRONGE b. circa 1799 who farmed at Garvaghy, Tulliniskey, Co. Down; I have no record of James' birth. The records indicate several Strong/Stronge names are from Cavan and I have always wondered if James was born there. I would not be surprised to learn of Strong relations from this area. While in Co. Antrim & Co. Down, I met previously unknown Stronge relatives who are assisting me with their Co. Down Stronge lineage. It is unconfirmed as yet, but I believe we share either the same g.g. or g.g.g. grandfather. They are children of the Rev. Albert Ernest Samuel STRONGE [1904-1982] who coincidentally also served the Presbyterian church in Carrigallen [?] Co. Cavan. Could you please pass along Ordella Park's e-mail address? Also note and please post my new e-mail address: gstronge@shaw.ca Cheers, Gord Stronge -------------------------------------- Dave Strong & Marilynn Dunne wrote: > > Janet... > > I was going thru my old messages, and came across this one of yours... > I took a look in my Irish Strong BMD Index: > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/bmdindex.htm#M > ARRIAGE > There is a marriage record for a William Strong in County Cavan in > 1873 and another one in 1875.

Gord... Your message of yesterday piqued my interest. Congratulations on your successful trip to Ireland. Thanks for sharing your insights with us! As you know, about four years ago you furnished a number of records which I added to the "off-line" version of the Irish Strong Database. Those records are included in the update of the HTML version of the database found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/counties.htm It took me a while, but I did get the database updated and on-line! {:-) Thanks to many people, including you! In the mean-time, I have been corresponding with some other researchers who have an interest in the Strongs of County Down, as well as other counties. I am copying them with this message, against the possibility they are not on the Rootsweb Strong-List. In the next couple of days, I hope to revise the County Down database on-line. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/down.htm For now, I have uploaded a new page on a "temporary" basis, relating to the various Strongs belonging to the Tulliniskey lineage. Please take a look at the Down database as well as the new page, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/tullin~1.htm If you can, please advise whether I am missing identification of any members of the lineage, and fill me in with other members as needed. I have also personally id'd but not on line tagged certain of the Down Stronges whom I think belong to the ancestors of Rev. Albert Ernest Samuel STRONGE portion of the lineage. If you want, I can try to id them on line as well. Let me know if this helps!
