Clement Reid of Lisnadill, County Armagh, Northen Ireland Clement Reid (b. 1845) my great great grandfather was born in northern Ireland near Armagh. He was a tenant of land near Letmacollum, Lisnadill owned by the Earl of Gosford. His daughter Isabella Reid was born in Belfast in 1872 and married William Tritton in 1895. Their son Robert Arthur Tritton Welch was our maternal grandfather. Griffith ’s Valuation is the name widely given to the Primary Valuation of Ireland, a property tax survey carried out in the mid- nineteenth century under the supervision of Sir Richard Griffith. The survey involved the detailed valuation of every taxable piece of agricultural or built property on the island of Ireland and was published county-by-county between the years 1847 and 1864. Figure 1:Griffiths valuation register for Clement Reid’s land in Lisnadill Parish. Figure 2: Griffiths Valuation Map (1847) for the Letmacollum area. Clement Reid’s land was applotments 15 and 16. 1 The tithe applotment records for 1832 list three Reid farms in Letmacollum. One held by Thomas senior, one by Thomas junior and one by William. One of those is likely to be Clements’ father and the other two could well be related, being in the same small townland. Figure 3: Same area on Google satellite view. No change in the field boundaries and houses in the same locations. Figure 4: View to applotments 15 and 16 from the east along the Seagahan road Lisnadill (from the Irish: Lios na Daille, meaning "ringfort of the blindness") is a townland and parish in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 54 people and lies about 3 miles south of Armagh. Armagh lies southwest of Belfast close to the border with the Irish Republic. 2 Some images of the area from Geograph UK (at https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=83283959) Letmacollum Townland.

At that time Newry and Warrenpoint was closed when a Newry was an important sea port and the promoters O train left Edward Street Station on its final run argued that the construction of the line would provide to Goraghwood. This single track line has been more effective access to the port and would benefit the operating for over 110 years and had been built by two trade of the town generally. The business people were separate companies. The Newry to Warrenpoint section also aware of the rising challenge of Belfast port.

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.
