Strays from County Armagh

Strays are people who are mentioned in some document not related to the county that they were born in or came from - or, a county that they would seem to have some connection to. This page is indexed or linked simply on the basis of the resource that the information was found in. Eventually, as the information for Stray pages builds, then each of these links will lead to separate pages, and the information broken down to various headings. For the moment, a search of this page using your browser will possibly show you whether there is any information pertinent to your own family research on this page, however, searching any Irish genealogy page for one or two spellings of a surname is usually not enough as there are so many variations and computers will only pick up exactly the spellings you look for.

The only way to really make sure that there is no relevant information on any Irish genealogy page is to read through the whole document.
