Pat McPhillips Portmore House [near Blackwatertown?]

[lenc]

Hi

Any help please on tracing descendants of Pat McPhillips of Portmore House Blackwatertown?

He married my great-aunt Rose (Ellen) McArdle of Cladymore Armagh in late 1920's I think.

She was still alive in 1951 when she was a named beneficiary in her brother's will when he died in Jan 1951.

There may not be much help available online. The latest census (1911) is far too early and online civil registration index only goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties.

The marriage took place 15 June 1927 Armagh district.

Added- there's a restaurant/pub called Portmore House at 44 Main St., Blackwatertown, Armagh

Hi aghadowey

Thats great thanks. How did you find the Marriage? I looked and couldnt find it so thanks again!

I had found the McArdles in 1911 census including Rose, but wasn't sure about McPhilllips. One likely family at Strangmore maybe?

I had the bureau statement as well and it's fascinating!

Thanks for your help

The marriage is from GRONI's index- you can view a scan of the marriage certificate from their website.
