Hi Bodger,
This isn't relevent to The above message but my Armstrong family came from Ballyjamesduff. Some family came to Australia in early to mid 1860's.
Can you tell me if there is a Family History centre in Ballyjamesduff, or if there are any Armstrong's living in the area now.
William Armstrong married Margaret McGill about 1840. There is a story that the Armstrong's had the Post office for some generations. It is presumed that it is in that area but we don't really know.
I couldn't see how to email you privately
