How do I find out about the origins of Annaclare House, Armagh; when built, past owners, etc.
There's hardly a mention of it in any book for the house or Townland.

Does anyone know about the Ancestors and descendants  of John Graham (1729-77), of Platten, MP for Drogheda, 1749-68

The Cave Hill with its majestic "nose" overlooks Belfast, as we all know. I grew up in the vacinity of Antrim Road, Glengormley and was always quite familiar with that area. There is one area called Colinward near to Glengormley and adjacent to the Whitewell area and it has its own castle; Colinward Castle (long since gone). One other thought worth mentioning is that the Cave Hill got its name from the caves, when its proper name was Colinward.

Yours, etc.,

First of all he came to Sydney where he was a baker. He more than likely worked for a Mr. Joseph William Brown bof King Street, Sydney. Later he moved to Emy, some thirty-seven miles from Sydney and became a farmer. On the death of his wife he remarried and had issue, twelve children, four of whom had died by 1857.
