Mike Fisher's Family History Research Centre http://www.ozemail.com.au/~mfisher/gene/ ................................................................ The OBRE family was closely associated with various places in Co. Armagh, N. Ireland from the late 1600's through to at least the 1850's. One place in particular was an estate (?) named Clantilew in the Parish of Tartaraghan. A Margaret OBRE married Ezekiel DUKE in 1856 in the Parish of Tartaraghan. I am researching Margaret and her ancestry together with anything at all on the Obre's of Armagh. In fact, being such an unusual name, I would be interested in information on the Obre's anywhere!
