Hi - just read your thread concerning Andrew Dunlop and Jane Johnston. Andrew and Jane were my Great Great Great Grandparents on the paternal side of my family. Andrew Dunlop (Snr) and Jane had 6 children as far as I can ascertain including my Great Great Grandfather Hugh Dunlop and his brother Andrew Dunlop (who I believe is the Andrew you are referring to). Hugh Dunlop had a daughter Mary Dunlop who subsequently married my Great Grandfather Robert John Armstrong, the surname which I bear. The Armstrong family were proud of the Dunlop connection and in fact one of my christian names is Dunlop. The family had strong Presbyterian routes in Northern Ireland and family legend has it that a Robert Dunlop was a ship's mate on the Mountjoy which broke the siege of Derry. I don't live in Northern Ireland but I have visited the grave of Andrew Dunlop in Garvagh cemetery. Hope you receive this!
