Hyde-Dougan 122118 Hyde-Dougan Family History This is a work in progress. Please send corrections, additional information, and questions to [email protected]. For many years Sharon did research in libraries and family history centers, scrolling through microfilmed records. The advent of Internet resources was both a timesaving tool and a nuisance, since many people have published family trees with incorrect or unverified information. We’ve made every attempt to indicate our level of confidence in the information presented here and document our sources. Peter Flanagan-Hyde’s direct ancestors are in bold type. We have traced the Hyde family back to Joseph Hyde,1 father of Henry Benjamin Hyde. Henry was born about 1848 and, according to family oral history, died on July 12, 1898, at about age 50.2 However, the Civil Registration Deaths Index for July and August 1898 listed the death of Henry Hyde, age 60, in Lurgan, which would put his birth in about 1838.3 He was said to be buried with his wife near the front door of the Episcopal Church in Seagoe, Portadown, County Armagh, Ireland.4,5 We visited that churchyard cemetery in July 2002 and there is a grave marked “Hyde,” with no other information, near the entrance. (Left, Peter at Hyde gravesite in Seagoe, 2002) According to oral history, Henry was born in County Wicklow, Ireland6 and had two brothers, Samuel and John, who may have been born in England and lived in England for a period of time.7 We have not located records to verify this information. A letter written by Samuel to Henry on August 16, 1870 acknowledges receipt of a letter from Henry dated August 14, so we assume they were in fairly close proximity. The letter was a farewell; Samuel was in the British Army and due to leave for India shortly. He may have been a school teacher in the Army, and according to a family story, he had beautiful handwriting.8 Both Samuel and John may have died in India.9 Henry Benjamin Hyde and Mary Elizabeth Harrison Henry Benjamin Hyde married Mary Elizabeth Harrison (known as Elizabeth and Bessie) on March 7, 1872 in Sligo, Ireland.10,11,12 According to the Parish Register, Henry’s father’s name was Joseph and Elizabeth’s father’s name was Samuel. Both Henry and Elizabeth lived in Whitehill, a townland in the Parish of Tawnagh, where the marriage was 13 registered. The witnesses were Charles Hartt and Mary Anne Bird. , 2018 Mary Elizabeth Harrison, wife of Henry Benjamin Hyde, was born about 1852. She died at age 49 on December 29, 1901 and was buried in Seagoe, Portadown, Ireland.14 According to oral history, she came as a child “on a boat over a large body of water,” which her family assumed meant that she came from Scotland. A card sent to her as a child from a cousin 21 December that speaks of being parted has a printed message written in a Scottish dialect.15 Her Updated Updated Sharon & Peter Flanagan-Hyde bonesearcher.com 1 mother’s maiden name was believed to have been Prue.16 Her father’s first name was Samuel.17 Henry and Elizabeth had five children, although only two survived to adulthood: Sarah Jane, born on April 1, 1876,18,19,20 and Joseph Samuel, born on April 10, 1880.21 Both children were born in Sligo; the address was recorded in their birth records as Lungy School, St. Johns Union. The family’s denomination was Church of Ireland. Henry and Elizabeth also had three daughters who died as children. Two were said to have died of diphtheria in the morning and the evening of the same day.22 We know that one of these sisters, Catharine, was born on December 14, 1874, according to church records. Her parents were listed as Henry and Bessie, and the family lived on Pound Street in the St. Johns Union Parish.23 A contemporary map of the center of Sligo City shows a street called The Lungy and a Pound Lane just off Temple Street, a main thoroughfare.24 Sarah Jane Hyde married Patrick (Mc)Sweeney. They did not have children.25 He died in Ireland. Sara Jane emigrated to the United States about 1931.26 She died in September 1961 and was buried in Presbyterian Cemetery, Springfield, New Jersey, in the same gravesite as her brother Joseph and his wife Anna (see photo on following page).

Joseph Samuel Hyde died September 14,37 1961 and was buried in Presbyterian Cemetery, Springfield, New Jersey.38 Anna D. Hyde died in 1965. (Photo, right) The discrepancy between Joseph’s birth date on his headstone (1880) and the date listed in the 1915 state census (1881) is not unusual in genealogical research. William Dougan and Margaret [Unknown] William Dougan was born in 1779 in Cloncore,39 Tartaraghan Parish, County Armagh, Ireland. (The name Cloncore is from the Gaelic Cluain Corr, which means Meadow of the Herons.) He married a woman named Margaret (or Mary), who was said to have been born in 1784 and died in 1844.

  • NAVAN FORT English Translation
    NAVAN FORT English Translation NAVAN FORT Emain Macha County Armagh The Site Navan Fort is a large circular earthwork enclosure 2 miles W. of Armagh city. It stands on a hill of glacial clay over limestone, and though from a distance this hill is not very prominent, from the top the view on a clear day is impressive. To the NW. are the Sperrins; Slieve Gallion is to the N. and Slemish to NE., while to the S. are the uplands of mid Armagh. Clearly visible to the E. is Armagh city with its two hilltop cathedrals. Only to the W. is the view less extensive. The small lake called Loughnashade is close to the NE. of the fort, and the road which runs S. of the earthwork was probably already old when it was shown on a map made in 1602. Navan in Legend and History Navan can be firmly identified with Emain Macha, ancient capital of the kings of Ulster. In leg- end Macha was a princess or goddess, and one explanation for the name Emain Macha (twins of Macha) was that she gave birth to twins after winning a race against the king’s fastest chariot. Another story was that she traced the outline of the earthwork with the pin of her brooch. The important body of Early Irish legend known as the Ulster Cycle centres round King Concho- bor, who ruled his kingdom from Emain Macha. Here were great halls for feasting, for weapons and for the spoils of war, and here was the king’s warrior troop, the Red Branch Knights.

  • 1951 Census Armagh County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Armagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7s M NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN ffiELAND 1951 County of Armagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST ; HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Governinent of Northern Ireland was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of m^ore limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid­ night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious profession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.
