Emigrated to Scotland

Hi there

My great grandfather born in 1838 in Armagh according to his marriage certificate and the 1881 census

was named James O' Neil his father born in Ireland was a John O'Neil. It is not certain whether this was

Armagh city or simply the county of Armagh. His son my grandfather was James Gordon O'Neil and my

father was Donald James O'Neil.James O'Neil and James Gordon O'Neil both saw service in the Royal

Artillery at Woolwich and Shoeburyness School of Gunnery in Essex. I visited Armagh in 2012 and hope

to return as soon as I can obtain some information as to their historic home. I don't know whether they

were a Catholic Anglican or Presbyterian family,so don't know where to start my enquiries.Any info

gratefully received.
