Thankyou for you reply
My husband seems to think that it is another set of the Savage line whom you are talking about .
He knows a decendant of that line and they arn't related .
Our Henry Savage was a farmer in Castlewellan and his son Hugh Savage came over to England before 1870
thats all we know Im sorry for the lack of information and i appreciate the time took to get back to me

I briefly tried births and marriages at www.ancestryireland.com/
I briefly tried births and marriages at www.familysearch.com two were interesting
HUGH Birth:  20 JUN 1840 
HUGH Christening:  1841   Portaferry, Father:  JAMES HENRY SAVAGE
Both Records submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church. No additional information is available. Ancestral File may list the same family and the submitter.     
Also from www.familysearch.com  the1881 census
 entry for a Hugh SAVAGE living with family at Cleator, Cumberland 
I didn’t have time to look at www.emeraldancestors.com
hope others will join in
good luck, jim

Thanks Jim I really appreciate the time you took .
My husband would like to go over to Castlewellan however unless we have something  to go on  I feel it would be a wasted journey as we still wont know where to look.
I hope others join in also

newtathis, there are definitely Savages from the Castlewellan area, previous posts have mentioned the Parish of Kilmegan. There is a Henry Savage age 30 with wife and son in 1901 census, I know this is late for your Henry, however there must be some connection somewhere.  There is a Henry Savage on the PRONI website, death 1880,  County Down Farmer, Tullymore, proved at Belfast by the oaths of William Savage, also farmer from the same area. I take it this would have been a brother to Henry.  It is now Tollymore which would be Bryansford, County Down, I am currently researching my family from these parts and have came across the name Savage especially from Slievenisky and Bryansford areas as this is where my mother was born and brought up. Hope this is off some help. Mabes.

Hi there, is this the Henry Savage, whose son Hugh and his wife Mary (nee Butler) settled in Whitehaven, Cumberland and had several children, including James Butler Savage. Hugh and Mary also died in Whitehaven.
