Simon Rock - Watery Hill, Armagh
« on: Tuesday 14 April 20 16:41 BST (UK) »
My wife, great great grandfather was Simon Rock b. 1796. WE know little or nothing about the Rock family when they lived in Co. Armagh. I have found all their details in Tyrone registers during census years, but their Armagh connection has baffled me until today when I found this document.

Does anyone know where in Co.Armagh Watery Hill would be or is it a local thing?

Tony

It's Drogheda in Co Louth and he's living in Watery Hill, Drogheda

Kg,
I'm sorry that I didn't notice this Drogheda title at the top of the page. I have his marriage details and all his births in Co.Armagh so it's either a different Simon or he was summoned to court there, who knows?

Ps. Just found the said Simon's death in Drogheda, so certainly not our Simon
