Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland to Grenville Ontario Canada/Greer
« on: Monday 30 May 16 02:57 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have information about the parents of Moses Greer, born in 1798 in Corlust, Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland?  Moses married Alice Conn (Connor) in about 1824 in Ireland, where they  had their first six children.  The family emigrated to Canada between 1837 and 1842 and settled in Grenville, where they had three more children.  Moses died in Grenville on December 7, 1856.

Corlust is in the  civil parish of BALLYMORE ,

I started with a couple of extra parishes

1796 
Flax Growers of Ireland
from http://www.failteromhat.com/flax/armagh.php
Greer                 Isabella             Loughgilly            Armagh

Greer                 John                 Ballymore             Armagh

BALLYMORE
from http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/armagh/tithe-applotments/ballymore-parish.php#.V1bQWVeoc5S
entries found for either name.
Greer, David - Townland : Corlust Year : 1830
Greer, Moses - Townland : Corlust Year : 1830
Greer, Samuel - Townland : Corlust Year : 1830
I have since discovered Ballymyre tithes exist with townlands similar to Ballymore see http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/Armagh/BallymyreTithes.htm all dated 1827
Conn   Thomas   Aghincurk   Ballymyre   Armagh
Conn   Samuel   Aghincurk   Ballymyre   Armagh
Conn   William   Cloghreagh   Killevy   Armagh
Conn   William   Duvernagh   Killevy   Armagh
Conn   James   Ballintemple   Ballymyre   Armagh
Greer, Robt.    Ballintemple

next I would be checking out church records at PRONI downloadable arranged by civil parish or
next

I would go to Griffith-Valuation. [1864?] the quick index that gives townlands is http://www.failteromhat.com/post1845.php

Greer Moses   Corlust   Ballymore map ref 15 also has Mary Hamilton living in his owned blgs

Greer   Thomas   Ballysheil More   Ballymore   Armagh

Greer   John      Cloghinny   Killevy   Armagh
Greer   Archibald   Tullyhappy   Killevy   Armagh
Greer   Archibald   Mullaghglass   Killevy   Armagh
next I would look up each of these in the detailed version of http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ I would find each persons details and map ref and look up the map ref.. then look up the map offered and plot the homestead .  next I would jump to google maps, satellite view enlarge to the point street scenes are seen and move up and down roads that were possibly used by the ancestors for fun and information about where they lived
next will be church records etc

hoping thats a start for you
