I have traced my family back to Armagh and possibly Lurgan. My gtgt granfather was reportedly a jeweller in Lurgan (more likely an employee). It appears that the whole family had to leave the area for Scotland due to one of the brothers reportedly setting fire to a church/village. I presume from a quick historical search that this was probably based on religion. Other members of the family were-
Parents- Robert Hannah (1825-1894)
Margaret Maxwell (1835-1909)
Children - John (1852- 1932)
George(1857-1916)
Andrew (1859-1942)
Alice (1861-1921)
Robert (1862- 1907)
Annie (1865-1950)
Edward (1867 -?)
David (1872-1877)
If anyone can shed any light on any such fire, or if anybody is related to this line then please get in touch. Thanks
