He and his girlfriend have been Methodists after they found its way to Quebec, Canada
William BLAIR Sr. ( – 1822) was Alex’s fifth Great-grandfather; among 64 within this age group while the originator in our Blair range into the America.
Their child William informed anybody he had been away from Armagh – no urban area, no parish, no townland – discover over 500 parishes inside Armagh therefore it is hard to find the appropriate one. He may have ended within the 1822 inside Richhill Parish, County Armagh, Ireland.
Willliam could have lived-in the brand new Richhill/Kilmore Parish section of Armagh, Ireland. Sher Leetooze, Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada authored inside 2008
I think I have discovered [our very own Blairs inside the] the brand new Richhill/Kilmore Parish area of Armagh, but can’t be sure. Can there be people into list who may have use of Mullaghbrack BMDs? And/or perhaps the townlands in identical urban area? Seeking the delivery out-of William Blair 1780-81, perhaps man from William and you may hitched later in daily life – Sept 1822 to help you Mary HUESTON. Possibly during the or close Richhill, no matter if if they ily parish I haven’t an idea in which you to definitely would-have-been – I can not select their anyplace. We hope, the new Banns had been comprehend both in parishes and i also will find their because of their parish (if it’s indeed Richhill/ Kilmore).
Today, so long as record people don’t brain – here’s what I know… William BLAIR, born 1780, Armagh, Ireland. BLAIR try a great Quaker, good weaver and are left handed (that it piece shows up in every almost every other age bracket)
Discover a naming pattern then though for children: > initially guy – titled getting father’s dad…
Here’s what I imagined I knew….. Thought William and Mary BLAIR, passed away at Richhill Parish 1822 are his moms and dads – best source for information, best many years….. due to the fact he had been one another a great weaver and you can a great Quaker it actually was a pleasant nice package to get him on Richhill where the Richardson’s got established an effective Quaker conference house in approximately 1803 and you will where it owned of a lot townlands and you can leased cottages so you’re able to weavers, and had a beneficial linen agent exactly who compiled from them. Towards 1796 Spinning-wheel Premium List, William and you may Mary Sr. try detailed given that weavers in the Mullabrack, the proper many years, following by the point the latest werkt tsdating Richardson’s got centered their fulfilling house such exact same two people was basically a number of distant at the Richhill as they are buried indeed there.
Everything i now see…. therefore, the earliest boy was born in 1823 and entitled John – you to definitely places the aforementioned advice so you’re able to other individuals, doesn’t it. > 2nd child – called getting mom’s dad … according to facts, the following man is actually William, created 1825 > third guy named to possess father – better, the father is actually William, and so the second child your suggestions have to be, in actual fact, the 3rd guy – I need to discover a demise into the 1824 otherwise 1825 off children. > next son is named having eldest aunt of dad – this suits – the next child is really Thomas, and William’s elder brother Thomas did indeed emigrate to help you Quebec given that well. Thomas’s eldest guy was titled John, identical to William’s, and so i assume I want to find a John?! > Also, into Tithe Applottments to have 1825, there is good William Blair in the three townlands during the Keady Parish – Lagan, Iskemeadow and you may Tullynamaloge. We realized there are BLAIRs within Keady for a long period, but could never discover an effective weaver William among them – there can be a beneficial shoemaker, William, but not, and i thought that it is a distant cousin. Unfortuitously, the Tithe Applottment index does not provide an occupation. > So far as are an excellent Quaker, brand new Lisburn Conference says the guy never ever repaid registration – which he more than likely attended group meetings in empathy with the Friends. > Not one of details within Canada state exactly what section of Armagh it originated in, only Armagh, or Ireland. > Plus, John Hayes, towards their webpages, provides transcribed the latest 1848-63 Griffith’s Valuation and there’s a good James BLAIR from the both Iskemeadow and you may Tullynamaloge townlands – will be an aunt which never came to Canada.
Really does anyone know if new 1825 provides occupation, or any other suggestions? Will it be worthwhile to expend the new $six to shop for the movie into my local LDS FHC??
