This is a real long shot....  My Great Grandfather, Bernard Hughes, was born in Armagh in 1841.  His parents were Dennis Hughes and Catherine O'Hare.

That's it I'm afraid.  Any takers?

Regards

  • Hi Gerard

    No luck finding Dennis & Catherine's marriage on rootsireland or findmypast.ie but fmp has a few Dennises born around 1820 which might be worth a look (credit required).

    There are 78 Hughes in Armagh in the Tithe Applotments in 1827 (free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/) & 837 in Armagh in Griffiths Valuation 1848-64.

    Armagh is not included in the Irish Censuses of 1821, 31 or 41 but there are 3 Hughes in Armagh in 1851 (free at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/)

    No luck on ancestry or Family Search either.

    If you google PRONI and select Name Search then enter Hughes Armagh and tick all the possible records you'll get 67 listings including a Denis in 1801 in Corr Armagh in the Pre-Admin Wills

  • Tried them all, but could not pick up any solid links through to my ancesters.  It's that one little hook you need to start you off.  I knew my info was not comprehensive enough, but thanks for your help, much appreciated.
