My Great grandparents, William McCormick and Jane Armstrong were married at Magheraculmoney in 1837, William's parents were Joseph McCormick and Bella Hamilton who may have lived in the township of Barnalackanor thereabouts, any info on this branch would be welcome. Jane's parents were in America by 1850, is it possible for someone to check if Andrew Armstrong and wife Ann Jolley with two children left Fermanagh and went to America between 1837 and 1850,
Thanks

Hi Alistair
Sorry we haven't been able to help you so far on this one.
Have you made any progress, or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes

Notice that you also list County Monaghan as a location in your surname interests. I am looking for information on a Peter McCormick born ca.1792 Monaghan. His father was also Peter but no mother's name. A shot in the dark, but does any of this seem familiar at all.

Hi Grendlsmother,
It would be interesting (and very fortunate) if we could establish that your Peter McCormick and my Joseph McCormick were related, they are both about the same date,

Hi - it certainly would. As I said previously the only information I have on him prior to him coming to Scotland (sometime before 1822) was that he was born around 1792, Monaghan (from '61 census). Father's name given on death cert as Peter McCormick, mother not mentioned. On the 1851 census his name is give as Patrick, but Peter on '41 and '61. Children's names: Mary; Daniel; Janet; Margaret; Isabella; Peter; James; John; Thomas and Elizabeth.
I would hazard a guess at his mother's name being either Mary or Isabella. The children's names would seem to follow the normal naming pattern, apart from Daniel, which is a bit of a mystery.
(Wife was Margaret - her parents James and Janet). There is always the possibility that the son who registered the death didn't know who his grandfather was, but as it was Daniel who reported it, you'd think he would know if the grandfather was Daniel as well - so I have to trust the certificate and go for Peter.
Will post more if I think of anything.

Hello Grendlsmother,
Have you looked at the 1796 Irish Flax Growers list for Moaghan There is a Peter McCormick there, along with a Joseph , how do we find out if they are ours?
Regards

I don't know - a 2nd cousin who is also researching has mentioned that this name is there, although it would be the father of my Peter as he would only be about 4 in 1796 - but his father's name was Peter.
I have never been able to find this flax growers' list. Do you want to post the URL and if I look at it I might get some inspiration.
Bye for now.

Thank you Trish,
I found the McCormick names on the flaxgrowers list through Ancestry , probaply at the Church of the Latter Day Saints in Bendigo. I had a look today and cannot find them!. Perhaps some of the more experienced people on Rootschat can help us. Ancestry only gave the names unless one is a subscriber.
We will keep trying, (Try Google)
Regards
Alistair,

I also checked Ancestry for you....I founda Peter McCormick marr Nov 19 1822 to a Bridget Derkin at Athenry, County Galway. As far as the other info this was all I got ...no other info but this:

Thank you Soopy,
It all adds grist to the mill and eventually we will sort out these McCormicks. In my search for Armstrongs from Derryvolland I have not come across a Nicholina or any Copelands, will let you know if they appear,

Thanks I appreciate it. I went onto Ancestry to see if I could find anything on your Andrew Armstrong....

Thank you Soopy,
I believe Andrew Armstrong went to Quebec on the Sesostris in June 1847. he came from Eniskillen and I still have to find out who all the Armstrongs were who travelled with him. Interesting thing is an Ann Armstrong, probably his wife is buried at the Quarantine station at Gros Ile, Quebec also in 1847. What I have to prove is that they were man and wife and he maiden name was Jolly. Does anyone know where I can access the complete passenger list for the Sesostris?
Regards
Alistair

Hiya
William McCormick and Jane Armstrong are my great great great great grandparents, their daughter Mary married Robertson Hamil who I come from. Was just wondering how and where you got Janes parents names as i cant find any info on them or her death in Scotland other than she was alive in 1871 and dead by 1877. Ive got them marrying in 1839 in a place i cant make out in Fermanagh.
