Armagh to Dundee-- Orr and Barnes
« on: Wednesday 23 February 05 12:25 GMT (UK) »
My Orr and Barnes families came over to Dundee, Scotland  in mid 19th C. form the "Diocese of Armagh" for the weaving industry.  Any connections or information very welcome.

There are lots of useful links about Dundee and the weaving industry on the Scotland (Angus) board.

Hope this helps.
