County Down - FRY/LONGMUIR/HUTCHESON/STIRRETT
« on: Tuesday 23 January 07 01:39 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone offer me any help in tracing my Irish ancestors?  From Scottish death and some military records, I have discovered:-

James FRY, born c.1800 - 1805 in TULLYLISH,  married Mary Ann STIRRETT (?) in DRUMSALAGH, Jun 1824, enlisted at TANDRAGEE (?) in 1825.

Jame's parents were Daniel FRY and Alice HUTCHESON.
Mary Ann's parents were George STIRRETT and Agnes LONGMUIR.

I would be grateful of any help e.g. what records are accessible and how can they be accessed.

Thank you.

My husband's line include Fry from Tullylish in the 1800's, but I think we may have corresponded before via another site (Genes possibly?) and although I was unable to find any links or help you further at the time, I would be happy to check back through my manual notes for you if you think it would be of help now... please let me know.

Did you notice that IGI have a Thomas Fry christened 17/8/1830 to a James Fry and Mary?

Drumsualagh was a townland in the Paish of Aghaderg, in the Poor Law Union of Banbridge. This Multimap link lets you see that Tandragee was nearby. Then if you zoom in a bit, you can see the area of Tullylish. And if you pan around, Drumsallagh.

In right timescale for you, the Freeholders Records of about 1813 -1821,  record a George Sterrett [stet] with an address of Drumsallagh and I suppose would tie in with the usual practice ( I think) of the marriage taking place in the bride's townland.

Thank you Scotmum, The other site was possibly a Rootsweb Mailing List. I would certainly appreciate it if you could find anything more in your husband's line.  We visited Tullylish in 2003 and discovered a few Fry graves in the churchyard - some of them fairly recent - but there was no-one to ask about present day Fry families.  Perhaps I'll write to the present incumbent of the church.

The Thomas you mentioned is in the correct time frame but I have a copy of Jame's military record and his children are mentioned - even one who was born and died in 1844

I shall certainly access the multimap link.

Do you know if there is any way that I can access the Freeholders Records? 
My knowledge of Irish records is very limited.

Once again, Thank you

I have checked back through my old emails and found one from February 2005 so assume you are E (first letter of your real name) in Australia. Hello again.  :)

You can search the Freeholders records at the PRONI website via this link by selecting search from the left hand column.

I do still feel there is a strong possibility that our respective lines were connected at some point, but so far records elude me. I have a manual note that I have considered the possibility of there having been a group of brothers in the Tullylish area around early 1800's including: a William, John, Samuel, James, Thomas and Daniel.

Hi there, yes, I'm the 'E' - I've just checked my email file.  It can be a long, slow process can't it.  I shall certainly access the PRONI website.  If I discover anything at all, I'll be in touch.  Is your email address still the same?

I'm off to bed now - shall check again in the morning.
Cheers.
