Have my family in the Griffith's Valuation, Tythe Applotment, Have also run out of parish records. I am now looking for the estate records that would include Gortnagwig, Arboe, Tyrone, Ireland. I will be back to PRONI in May. Any help with the finding correct estate would be helpfull. I thought Drapers but they are closed records.
Thanks John Bell

Hello Gerald Henderson
My great Grandfather was Robert Bell from Gortnaglough, 1846-1908. His son James was my maternal grandfather - was your grandfather one of his brothers? He had 6 brothers and 4 sisters, several of whom emigrated to USA and Australia. If he is your Robert, I have loads of info on our roots and would love to get in touch! GG'father Robert was married to Eleanor (Gibson) in 1867. His parents were John and Emily Christiana.

Hello bjbell98
I think you are looking for Gortnaglough Bells? Like Gerald Henderson my g-grandfather was Robert Bell from G'glough - his sixth child (4th son) was my grandfather James. I have lots of info on our Bell roots if you want to get in touch.

Hi Gerald
I tried to reply to your request to bjbell but I don't know if I did it right, as I got no reply from either of you. Could your gg grandfather be the same one as mine? His son James was my grandad, the one who stayed on the farm.
Would love to hear from you as I've reached a blank in my family tree searches.
Regards
Valerie
