There are two Dromore's in Northern Ireland and I am wondering if the Dromore you refer to is the Dromore in County Down?

This is for grm. My husband's great-grandfather was the coachman to Henry Lucas St. George at the Rectory in Dromore. Would it be possible to see a photo of the oil portrait you have of him? Also, are there any pictures from that period that might show the coachman. We don't have any photographs or images of him--he lived from about 1832 to 1920.

Hi sekm
Would you have a name for your Husbands Great Grandfather, and was he a native of Dromore? Unfortunately I dont have any pictures from that period that would show the coachman. The Rev Henry Lucas St George came to Dromore around 1834. I have attached a photograph of the oil portrait that I have.

Hi Gerald,

The name of my husband's great-grandfather who was coachman to Rev. Henry Lucas St. George was William Marshall. As far as I know, he was from Dromore. We think he was married to Elizabeth Mosgrove. I wish we had more information about him.

Thanks so much for sending the picture. The Reverend looks like a very distinguished man.

I have a story about the Rev. Jack Davis. My husband's father, also named William Marshall, was about age 13 when he drove the Rev. Davis around, first in horse-drawn carriage, while making his house calls. Davis used to get a shot of whiskey at each stop and became more merry at each stop. He used to sing to the clip clop of the horses, “The Orange Tree”: When William came to England, the King of it to be, he brought a branch along with him of the old Orange Tree. When William came to Ireland, the Protestants to join, he brought the branch along with him and set it at the Boyne.

Regards,
Susan

Hi Bruce
 I have lived in Dromore all  my life and I have quite a bit of history on the Rectory. I have also in my posession a 5ft x 3ft oil portrait of the original incumbant the Rev Henry Lucas St George who organised the building of the Rectory around 1836.

Regards

Gerald

Gerald,

Hello.  I would appreciate information on the rectory and Henry Lucas St. George.  My ancestral research has hit a wall and I am trying other leads.  I have a bible that belonged to my second great grand uncle signed by Henry Lucas St. George dated September 1849.

Thanks,
Vince
