trying to find info on 4 brothers ,  Robert Francis brown, william brown, samuel brown and lexie brown who were born in Cloghoge, creggan parish armagh, ireland.
Robert arrived in New York in 1913 and in 1930 was living in chicago with wife Ola and daughter Frances.his date of naturalization was 1940. Lexie came to live with him and his naturalization was 1936. he was a widower who left behind a young family in cloghoge. i think he married again in usa.
Samuel arrived in new york in 1911 and in 1930 was living in new jersey with wife magda. he died in chicago in 1941.
william arrived new york in 1912.  i think he was also living in chicago in the 1930s and 1940s.
i don't know what happened  to my great uncles after this and would love to hear from anyone who may have them in their family tree. my grandfather was one of the 2 brothers who stayed in northern ireland.

still trying to work this out. if you look at the 1901 census there is a hugh Bailie living in Aughlish  (Ballysheil, armagh)   a RIC pensioner  and farmer. he is aged 53 , making him born about 1848. however  in 1911 he is down as 65 making him born about 1838. could  he be a brother to your mary  born 1840.  according to PRONI wills this Hugh died in 1919.
this hugh  appears to have 8  children, including hugh alexander  born about 1884 and died 1937 , then living Lisnabrague  co Down.
Aughlish, Scarva, Ballysheil , Lisnabrague   are all in the same    area    on the road to newry,  and i think this area is close to the co armagh and co Down border so if this is your family  they could have lived  in co armagh or co Down.   The village of Scarva  is very much associated with the Orange order  (13th July  celebration ) which ties in with your comment.

the BAILIES of Tullyvallen  co armagh  are part of my family tree.   Hugh Bailie was married to charlotte and they had children joseph,margaret,charlotte , sarah and mary. hugh died in 1869.  my great grandparents were john and agnes Bailie.
