Armstrong / Buchanan ?? and Oliver?

[Waldo Olga]

Hello.  I wondered if you had any further information on BonnyNubber?
My grandfather took us to Ireland from Canada in 1970 and we visited this home, which was his grandmother's home, I believe.  This makes us distant cousins!
My daughter and I are travelling to Ireland at the end of this month and I was hoping that BonnyNubber still exists.

Thank you.

Hi Waldo Olga!

        WOW...So you say Bonnynubber was your Grandfather's grandmother's home? May I ask her name?  John Buchanan lived in Bonnynubber. His daughter Sarah married Montgomery Armstrong (my gg grandparents). They lived on Innishmore till about 1856 when they moved to Bonnynubber- I assume because since Sarah was an only child, Bonnynubber was left to her after her father died- thus why they moved with some of their children there. Montgomery and SArah's daughter Jane Armstrong married her cousin George Copeland. She traveled to America abt 1876/77 and they were married shortly after that. George was the son of Hugh Copeland of Enniskillen (son of James Copeland of Lisbellaw) and Nicholina Armstrong (Montgomery's sister). After Hugh died (1841) Nicholina and 6 of her 7 stepchildren and her 5 children went to America (1848). By 1856 the 6 step children had gone on to Australia- Nicholina and her children settled in Brooklyn, NY!  George Copeland and Jane Armstrong were my g grandparents and they lived their lives in Brooklyn, NY.

I can find out info in ref to Bonnynubber. I have not been doing much gen work lately since I watch my grand daughter..BUT I have a cousin in Dublin who has gone there often. There was also an outside gentleman last year looking into the Armstrong/Buchanan relation to Pres. James Buchanan. I KNOW there are still relatives there since I sent pictures and info to them last year.

I do not know if I can post an address here....but...it is (*)

Please if you wish to contact me-please do! It is always GREAT to meet a fellow cousin! I know there were children of a Hugh Copeland from Enniskillen that went to Canada...almost same circumstances as mine...and often confused..BUT his b date was later. I still believe he was most likely a cousin/nephew of mine. Well...would love to hear from you!
