There are no passenger records for travel between Armagh and England. It was (and still is) a short domestic journey and no records have ever been kept on that type of journey.

Peter McGuinness was born in the townland of Drumgreenagh on 27.8.1869. I checked the Valuation Revision records to see if the family is listed there around that time. They are not. So either they didn’t stay there very long or their house was of too low a value to be worth listing. (Edward was a flax scutcher so is likely to have lived in a labourer’s cottage. Often they were too poor quality to be worth valuing).

Look at when the family first show up in England eg birth of a child or the 1871 census, and that will tell you roughly when they moved. Most couples had children fairly regularly, so if Peter was the only one born in Ireland, then it was probably a year or so after that.

If looking for parents, you should get the fathers' names from the civil marriage certificate. You can view it on the GRONI site for £2.50.
