I'm trying to locate the parish for my great great grandparents, Cornelius O'Hare born about 1825 and his wife, Frances Fitzpatrick also born about 1825. I have been told they might have originated in County Armach but I have no proof. I believe Cornelius died in Ireland and Frances then came to Canada to live with their son, John J. O''Hare. They used the spelling O'Hare and O'Heir. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The County is Arnagh. Do you happen to know when Cornelius died. I located this 1874 civil death index record in the Newry registration district. Although Newry is in Co. Down the registration distrcit does cover the southeast corner of Co. Armagh.

I believe Cornelius was born about 1825 in County Armagh. His wife was Frances Cecelia Fitzpatrick, born about 1824 in County Wexford. Frances was in Ontario, Canada in 1855 when her son, John was born but according to the Canadian census, Cornelius was not living with them at that time.
