John Ure of Dundalk
« on: Saturday 08 November 14 17:14 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking into John Ure of Seatown, Dundalk.

He appears in various directories as a county director of the Provincial Bank of Ireland in 1840s/1850s.  He's also on electoral registers in the 1830s at that address and in Pigotts 1824.

His death would seem to be reported:
Death reported in Cork Examiner 29/12/1852
“Sept 25, in Dublin, after returning from Cork, John Ure Esq of Dundalk”
Also reported in Dublin Evening Mail as 23rd Sept (27/9/1852 paper)

I'm hoping to connect him to my ancestor Alexander Ure (of Dublin, born approx 1826), a clerk whose father was called John.  A possible brother is the fabulously named Ebenezer Ure (a civil servant, also appearing in prison registers on FindMyPast for assaulting his wife and child).  Both of these men lived in Dublin.

The family was CoI.  I have a note that there's a memorial inscription in St Nicholas's, Dundalk but haven't been able to find further details.

Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

As far as I can make out the C of I parish records for Dundalk are on microfilm in PRONI. It would be worthwhile to see if Alexander's birth/baptism is there.
