Turkington and Greenaway Tartaraghan, Armagh
« on: Thursday 14 April 22 16:48 BST (UK) »
Hi
Checking to see if anyone may have this couple in their information:  James Greenaway (1802-1871 b. Tartaraghan) and Jane Turkington (1802-1872, b. Tartaraghan).  James Greenaway's father may have been Francis and Jane Turkington's father may have been Samuel.  I believe that they were married around 1830 and had the following children:  Frances, Elizabeth, James, Martha, and Thomas.  This couple would be my 3rd great grandparents. 

Trying to find more information around their marriage in order to perhaps identify their parents.

Thanks so much,
Laura

When James died in 1871, his residence was given as Ballynarry.  The townland is important in order to sort out the families.  This lies within the parish and registration district of Tartaraghan.

The bordering townlands are Cloncarrish, Cloncore, Clonmakate, Derrylard & Gallrock.  There are no Greenaways listed in any of these townlands in the Freeholder Records which date from around 1800 to 1830 (available online at PRONI).  Ditto for Turkington, but there are several of both surnames in townlands which are a little further away.  Searching for the marriage of the couple in the Tartaraghan records as noted by Jon should provide at least the names of their fathers and the townlands.
