McCready & McCormick

Here’s a link to Lisnadill Church of Ireland:

http://www.armagh.anglican.org/Parishes/LisnadillKildarton.html

It’s on the B31 Newtownhamilton Rd, south from Armagh City. The photograph indicates there is a graveyard attached to the church. Sadly that church’s early records were destroyed in the 1922 fire in Dublin.

Richard’s death:

I’d say Tullygarve and Tirgarve are the same townland. Just an alternative name for it.

Joseph, David & Mary Jane McCready of Tirgarve all signed the Ulster Covenant in 1912. So you  can tell their views on Irish Home Rule from that and see their signature son-line on the PRONI Ulster Covenant website.

Griffiths Valuation shows Richard on plot 1 in Tirgarve. That was just over 19 acres, and the family bought the Freehold under the Land Act in 1917. Still farmland today though the buildings seem fairly modern from a satellite image. On the modern A29 Moy Rd.

Wow Elwyn! Thank you so much for all this information. I have been researching all day and finding out so much about the family, I feel as if I am there :)

Thanks again 

Kindest regards
