Hello. Is there a repository to look up the names of weavers during 1850's? Thank you
-
no, it would have been the 1851 & 1861 census, the most common occupations were farming weaving & linen, you can see many males and females marrying 1850's both with occupation weaver, and their fathers also weavers.

most people begin to struggle 1850 and further back - you need to look at church records. Few manage to locate definite details once back to 1790-1810.
The marriage was in Mullavilly in the parish of Kilmore the registers of which are transcribed on https://rootsireland.ie/armagh/online-sources.php
As mentioned per the links in the other thread Kilmore civil parish contains Derryhale where the bride was from but Ballyworkan is in Drumcree Parish https://www.townlands.ie/armagh/oneilland-west/drumcree/portadown-rural/ballyworkan/ and whilst Drumcree Church of Ireland registers have been digitised by PRONI they are unindexed pdf images which can only be consulted in person in the building.
