| Ardglass. In time, I will get a page up that will include several photos and family tales relating to the BROWN and MARTIN families of Ardglass. For now, there is only the story of a family sundial that relates to Ringfad. |

| The Monteagle BROWNEs of Ardglass, Co. Down and Knock, Belfast. In 2004, I received a couple of lengthy and informative letters from Norway from Raymond Douglas Monteagle BROWNE, and we followed up with a few phone calls. His oral history and that of his mother fits with the facts I have found so far. In the late 1950's, as a teenager, I visited his mother and father, and felt an immediate and deep fondness for both of them. |

| BMDs of Co. Down, Parish of Knockbreda (Castlereagh Lower portion) (4 townlands)
and Knockbreda (Castlereagh Upper portion) (20 townlands)
register gleanings. My focus was on JACKSONs and names known to have married into the family. It is by no means exhaustive, in part because the films I was working with varied in quality - as did my vision, depending on the time of day. |

| Jacksons and others in Parish of Knockbreda, Barony of Castlereagh Upper. Griffiths valuations. |

| Probates of JACKSONs of Co. Down. I have also done a tree of the JACKSONs of Co. Down which includes many of these people, and there are many more of them in my tree who are also likely to be connected. This is just a start. There are also later abstracts which can be found at PRONI Will Calendars Search. |

| JACKSON Freeholders of Castlereagh. Extracted from PRONI Freeholders records
(with a few others thrown in). I searched for John JACKSON, and picked up a few
others in the by-catch. |

| JACKSON BMDs from the Belfast Newsletter. This 9 page chart also includes a fair bit of me thinking-out-loud as well as a lot of verified facts and relationships. Updated Jan 4, 2019 |

| JACKSONs of Co. Down - a Townland sort. I have interpolated many of the records of JACKSONs recorded in the Belfast Newsletter BMDs, with
as many of the memorials of deeds that I can find notes on [based on my 2016
update – more to come]. |

| This chart of Jackson Baptisms in Co Down is just a start. I will update it after I get back from my spring 2017 trip to Ireland. More to come. |

| JACKSON births. Births of Jacksons from the Parish of Raffrey and from several townlands between there and Saintfield. Many of these families seem to be related. Most of them seem to be the descendants of JACKSON farmers who held leases in the area from at least the mid 1700s. Updated |

| JACKSON deaths from Downpatrick Registry and elsewhere. This is part of my recent “cluster approach” to unraveling the various JACKSONs who may or may not be related to each other, and who had ties to the townlands east of Saintfield. Apparently, thanks to recent DNA postings, I am distantly related to some of these people, Exactly how I may be related continues to elude me. I will continue to update this page with more data and links as time permits. The most important link will be to Some JACKSONs of Killinchy & Kilmore. |

| 1653 Presbyterian removals - Comparing two lists. Declaration by the Commissioners
for the settling and securing the Province of Ulster; dated at Carrickfergus,
the 23rd of May, 1653. NOTE: The 1653 policy, which originated in Dublin – not London, to
transport Scots from Antrim and Down was directed at close to 300 Presbyterians.
Many of them had identified with the Royalists instead of the Cromwellians. This
preceded the policy to transport Catholics to Connaught. There are two versions of this list, so I have compared them to make sure that I do not miss anyone ( I have not seen the original - these are both from secondary sources). |
