Armagh (county)
Does anyone have any info on the workhouse in armagh?
my grandfather PETER CALLAGHAN was born there April 1919.
his mother was SARAH ANNE CALLAGHAN nee FARRELL. c1877
ther were i belive 5 younger siblings but know nothing about them...not even names!
Sarah Anne i believe died around the time of Peters birth and he may have been fostered to a farmer.
i have no info on what happened to his father PATRICK CALLAGHAN c1875

if they are roman catholic the library at the cathedral,o FIACH has all the records and the staff are fantastic at helping you
I'm trying to find information on a Rose Morris. I think this is her maiden name, not sure. She apparently died in the Armagh workhouse not long after her son William was born. She was born around 1976. My grandfather, William (Willie), was adopted by a family, Mallon from Tullygoonigan. William's father's name was apparently William Monaghan. I'm not sure how true all this is as I'm having a great deal of trouble tracking Rose down. The only part I know for sure is that the Mallons adopted William as my father has visited them and cofirmed this part of the story. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
