Greetings, I am searching for any information (parents, siblings) on Samuel Matchett, thought to have been born in Co Armagh in ~1812. I believe that his wife's name was Elizabeth.
Family information indicates that Samuel and Elizabeth had five children born in Co Down (Tullylish?)between 1840 and ~1855. Their names include: Elizabeth, George Alexander, Sarah Jane, Margaret, and Isabella.
It appears that Samuel was a farmer and the family lived in Tullylish, Drumaran between 1863 and 1902. The 1901 Ireland census info that shows Samuel Matchett (88, b at Co Armagh), head, widower, farmer, living at Tullylish, Drumaran, Co. Down, with daughter Margaret Matchett (52, b in Co. Down), not married, and grand-daughter Florence Calder (13, b in Co. Down). Samuel was buried (age 89) at Tullylish/Drumaran, (Banbridge Dist) Co. Down, N. Ireland Sept qtr 1902.
thank you for your time and assistance.
cheers
Ian
