Oliver Family traces in Co. Armagh I have put together a
map showing all the known townlands where OLIVER family members left traces,
whether in leases, or BMD records. Beneath the map, is a ten page chart
organized alphabetically by townland with a brief description of the
information. The accuracy is only as good as the sources, and they are many
and varied. |

Creggan Parish - Map of Townlands This is a parish in
Co. Armagh. I have added pertinent family links. I havbe also done a page
where I have tossed together all sorts of disparate bits that may or may not
fit in the hope that it may be helpful to some other researcher, and then, if
I am lucky, then they will get back to me. Creggan Church Ruminations. |

Griffiths Valuation of Ireland - Creggan, County Armagh.
1864. This is a work in progress. I am collating what I know about
various family members in the Parish of Creggan. As a side bit, I also looked
at holdings where the lessors or lessees were women. The beauty of a table
format, is that it is possible to sort it either by name or townland. |

Killynure,
Lisnadill Parish, Co. Armagh This is Townland in Co. Armagh where many of
the OLIVERS, JACKSONS & BROWNS all lived from the late 1700s-mid 1900s.
The family house still stands, though family left decades ago. Updated.

Liscalgot, Creggan Parish, Co. Armagh.Liscalgot is a
townland with 220 acres within its boundaries and is situated 2-3 km. east of
Crossmaglen, just south of Creggan Church (one can walk there by way of a
path behind the church).
Urker, Creggan Parish - on the border of Liscalgot. Both Urker House (BALL and CORR family) and Urker Lodge (JACKSON family) are in the townland of Urker aka Urcher, |

Tullymore & Umgola, Parish of Armagh, County Armagh There are a range of OLIVER family connections here that shed a great deal of
light on the ancestors of Eliza OLIVER, mother of Sir Thomas JACKSON. |

Tullyvallen & relations of JACKSONs I have assembled
a pretty extensive table containing all that I have collected so far that may
relate to both Tullyvallen as well as to various relations of JACKSONs. I
suspect they will turn out to be related to the families of Liscalgot &
Urker. |

Woodvale & JOHNSTONs detective work Recent deeds
involving the JOHNSTONs of Woodvale, Co. Armagh prompted me to try to
assemble all that I know (thereby also displaying my ignorance too!) about
these people and this place. |

Leases owned by JACKSONs connected to Urker & Liscalgot.
Following the JACKSON leases in the Barony of the Fews, Co. Armagh will
likely be a key to several unanswered questions. It came out in court case
concerning the murder of George M’Clean on Dec 4, 1846 that a long lease held
by Eliza JACKSON was cancelled: One cause assigned for the murder is that
Mrs. Jackson was dispossessed of a large farm a few days ago, on the
expiration of a long lease, and part of the lands were given to one
Middleton, bailiff to the property, and who is nephew to the deceased . Since we do not know which lease it might have been, all are worth
investigating. The ones that I know about so far include: Urcher, and
Liscalgot in the parish of Creggan; Tulleyagallaghan, Cashel, Ummerinvore,
and Tullyvallen in the parish of Newtownhamilton. |

Hearth Money Rolls for the Barony of Ardmagh. I worked from two main sources: http://www.failteromhat.com/armaghhearth/ardmagh.htm and The
Ire-Atlas Townland Database and used them to guess the contemporary name
of townlands based on the sounds of the names as well as the names of
adjacent townlands that show up in the Registry on the same page. This latter
method may have been misleading. I have also been guided by connections that
I have noticed in later deeds. Some boxes were shaded in order to draw my
attention to names & places of interest with respect to OLIVER
connections. |

Bradshaws 1819 Directory of the City of Armagh When Thomas Bradshaw published his Directory in 1820 he wrote that it
contained an alphabetical list of the merchants, manufacturers and
inhabitants of the towns of Newry, Armagh, Dungannon, Portadown, Tandragee,
Lurgan, Waringstown, Banbridge,Warrenpoint, Rostrevor, Kilkeel and
Rathfriland. Listed here are all the entries for Armagh city. Although it is
a useful early source of information it is far from a comprehensive one. A
census of the city in 1817 estimated the population at 7010, but this list
only includes 620 names. My idiosyncratic notes relate to what I am learning
about connections of any of these people to members of our family. |
June 23, 2008 |
Piggots 1824 Directory - Co. Armagh It is interesting to
compare this Directory with Bradshaws Directory done only a few years earlier. Both
represent only a small sampling of the population - likely geared towards
those who would be prepared to purchase such a directory. I note that New
Streeet AKA Navan Street is not included, for example, although there were
people living there who would have received notice. So, just because your
people of interest are not mentioned doesn't mean that they were not there. |

Creggan Parish, BMDs These BMDs are the

First Armagh Presbyterian This is a work in
progress. There are likely errors in transcription - both as a result of my
work and also the work of the original transcriber. I have been doing my best
to match names with deeds and family trees. If there are place names that
have alternate spellings that I have not included, I would be grateful to
know more. Some are hard to track down. If you know more about any of these
people, please let me know. Notes updated. I have also added another source
for these records. SEE: Armagh Marriages 1707-1728 |

Freeduff BMDs - selected records of pertinent
families These records of families pertinent to our family tree still
need to be double checked for accuracy, but I don't know when I may again
have access to the film, so better this than nothing (I figure). It should
also be remembered that there may be some duplication of people who also
attended Creggan Church of Ireland in the nearby community of Creggan. |

1864 Griffiths Research Notes- Co. Armagh These are
merely rough notes - but I am posting them in case they are of use to fellow
researchers. In the future, my plan is to organize the data more efficiently. |

1766 Creggan Parish Census These are the names that are
most likely related to members of our extended family. Unfortunately, I do
not have access to this source right now. I believe I accessed it in Ireland
years ago – possibly at PRONI - but early on in my research, I neglected to
keep notes of sources. An act of great folly. If and when I can get to this
census again, other family names would be of interest, in particular the
names of DICKIE and BAILIE. |

Armagh Corporation 1708-1810 Memorials of Deeds from the

Lessees and Lessors in Urker in Grifffiths & Valuation
Records. I have used the 1901 and 1911 census, as well as available
wills, to shed some light on the inhabitants of Urker in the late 1880s. My
purpose in assembling this information, is to learn more about the nearby
neighbours of the JACKSONs of Urker. Sir Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915) had a
deep and abiding affection for the families who were part of his experience
as a child growing up at Urker. Had his wife been amenable, he would have
retired there. After he was successful as a banker in Hong Kong, he gave
money to help some of old childhood friends build and/or repair their houses. |

the nearby neighbours of the JACKSONs of Urker and the GILMOREs of Liscalgat. |

| Freeholder Records for ROCK aka ROCKS of Armagh. These are of special interest to me because of the marriage on May 8, 1863 of a Margaret ROCK (abt 1837-1905) to a John OLIVER (abt 1841-1909). These OLIVER-ROCKs lived and farmed at Ballycrummy in the late 1800s. Their descendants still live there. The forenames of Patrick, Bernard & Francis are of special interest (The names of John & Margaret's other sons - James and John - could just as easly have been OLIVER forenames). The DNA of the Ballycrummy OLIVERs is a close match to my own. |

| 2018 Armagh Additions from the Land Index 1708-1738 The names that I have been following are OLIVER & JACKSON as well as any collateral lines and their landlords. In the Barony of Fews, BALL is a significant name to follow, as are MURPHY, JOHNSTON, TIPPING & GRAHAM. |

| 1641 Creggan Parish Holdings of Sir Henry O’Neil This chart was created to help me navigate the outcome of the forfeiture of townlands which had been held by Sir Henry O'NEILL up to 1641. They were seized and used to pay soldiers for their arrears of pay during the Civil War, as well as the costs of "Adventurers" - aka investors - who had financed the war. The 1670 Landlords includes many of those who had been promised land in Ireland in return. That was how wars were funded at that time - not by taxes. |
February 27, 2018 |
| BALL family leases. The various branches of
the BALL family intermarried – more than once - so it is worth looking sideways
when trying to make sense of the land transactions of the various BALLs of Co. Armagh.
My personal interest in tracking the BALL leases is because of their connections to the JACKSONs
of Urcher [aka Urker] in the Parish of Creggan as well as Tullyvallen in the Parish Newtownhamilton
(Tullyvallen was previously included in the Parish of Creggan). The BALLS were landlords
to generations of the JACKSONs of Urcher and were also related to the JACKSONs of
Coleraine - who in turn are possibly related to the JACKSONs of Urker |
March 8, 2018 |
| BALL Family Timeline. I am including the townland of Tullyvallen in this timeline
of the BALL family of Creggan because it may turn out to be the glue that holds the story together when it
comes to BALL-JACKSON connections. For the same reason, I am also including the
BALLs of Drogheda. |

| Probates of JACKSONs in Co. Armagh are helping me to pin down various families of JACKSONs
in Co. Armagh who may or may not be related – even distantly – to each other. I started with the probates index at the National
Archives of Ireland, then added links to townlands from townlands.ie for Armagh, and then
added data from the 1901
and 1911 Census of Ireland. Finally, I added details from notes on those wills
where there was an available image at PRONI. Updated. |

JACKSON BMDs of Co. Armagh. These three tables of BIRTHS, Marriages, DEATHS include hundreds of BMDs that are part of the 1,000+ JACKSON BMDs that I have recorded so far from a range of counties. Bit by bit, I will be uploading all of them to my web site. This batch of Armagh JACKSONs is also not yet complete. More to come in the months ahead.
If errors are spotted, I welcome the chance to make corrections. Additions are also welcome. |
