Hello All and Greetings from Queensland, Australia!
I'd appreciate it greatly if anyone could help me trace the THOMPSON and CUMMIN/GS families of Armagh, parish of Armagh, Co. Armagh.
When my great-grandmother & her first husband came out to Australia in 1856, they stated they were natives of Armagh. JOHN THOMPSON (24yrs, an ag.labourer) gave his parents as F:ALEXANDER THOMPSON (farmer), M: ELIZA (formerly LINEY ?). ANNE JANE (formerly CUMMINGS), 19yrs, gave her parents as F: JOSEPH CUMMINS (farmer), M: MARGARET (ANN HORNE?).
I was fortunate to find their marriage record of 7 June 1855, Armagh First Presb. Church, in Parish of Armagh, Co. Armagh. JOHN gives his residence at time of marriage as Cloughfire? ANNE JANE, her residence as Drumbee? I don't know whether these towns are spelt correctly.
Any records of siblings, date of births, etc. would be wonderful.
Thank you in anticipation.
Carol
