Armagh / Re: Railway Workers
« on: Wednesday 17 January 07 23:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Checkout the website for craigavon historical society - they have a few articles about Portadown Railway station. Your Grandfathers name sounds very familiar. I presume he was known as Sammy. My father worked on the railway too -fifty years in Portadown so I'll ask him in the morning  to see if remembers him.
There is also a site re Wades Factory(in Portadown) run by a Cardwell McClure I have heard that he is interested in the history of the railway in Portadown-maybe he can help.
Regards,
Barbara

Apologies for posting the wrong info. re Lurgan site.(However, my sentiments are the same).
Martin McGoldrick was the father and his son was named Michael.

Check out the Richhill area and surrounding townlands as I know of the name Faloon still living there. It is a village between Portadown and Armagh.

Armagh / Re: Lurgan Ancestry

Hi everyone,
Lurgan Ancestry has come offline. I do not know whether it is  temporary or permanent. To my knowledge Martin McGoldrick dedicated the site to his son , Martin (junior) who was murdered during the "Drumcree stand-off". Since then Martin (senior) too has passed away while doing charity work abroad. He was a very sincere gentleman who will be sadly missed in all aspects of his work - I only ever had the pleasure of meeting him once.
Maybe some of his co-workers will maintain his site as it was very helpful to all who were researching their"tree" in the Portadown/Lurgan area.

Armagh / Re: DYNES family in Armagh in 18thC
« on: Tuesday 03 January 06 04:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi again,
If you want I can look up the Seagoe Parish registers(these would include Bluestone) possibly next week to see what Dynes' are listed?!?
By the way Bluestone is not actually a townland. The neighbouring/surrounding townlands are Lylo, Ballygargin,Crossmacaughley(there are various spellings of this),Moyraverty. Check out the Craigavon Historical society's website.

Hi again, Just been on Genforum .search it for Chambers Dynes and ancestors in the dynes family forum. It is posted by a "Ken Rolston in Uk". It sounds as if could possibly be your Miss Dynes!?!?!

Armagh / Re: Harvey & McNally in Co. Armagh
« on: Monday 02 January 06 02:02 GMT (UK)  »
Just as a matter of interest one of my ancestors by the name of "Rose Harvey " was murdered according to the Belfast Newsletter Search in 1798. Her husband was Peter not Patrick . Totally unrelevant to your search but interesting to mine as their were two men ordered to be hanged for the murder but frustratingly I was unable to find the court records for same. I was hoping to know the whys and wherefores to it happening. Anyhow good luck with your search and if I can help let me know.

Sorry I did not get around to replying to you earlier!!!!  As far as I can gather all of my ancestors were Protestants. I have went back as far as the late 1600's. However there is a large contingent of Harveys in South Armagh. Try using your search enginewith "Harvey Cregganbane" or Harvey Clonalig. To my knowledge these are both in South Armagh near Crossmaglen. Also on the Genforum website there are a few posts researching the Harveys of Crossmaglen. Happy Hunting!
