I wonder if anyone can help me here - I have the name of a place from a Will I have partially downloaded from Proni (I say partially because the website crashed just after I got page 1 - there are 2 more to download!) Loads of Connors are named in the Will i.e. 2 children in the Workhouse who have to stay there until old enough to handle money; 2 others (females) working at the Lunatic Asylum in Downpatrick.
What intrigues me is the name of the place where Thomas Connor died - he was a farmer and the will says he died in ?Ballymagrass ?Ballymagress which is in Co. Down - have never heard of it nor, more relevantly OH who hails from Co. Down has never heard of -no sign of it. Having got so much information from his Will about Connors I had never heard of, it would appear he comes from a place that no one has heard of - I suppose it is possible that it has been renamed especially if it was the name of his farm rather than a township.
Any clues would be gratefully received Sue
