Looking for Felix O'Rafferty and his wife Helen McCormick. Believe they were from the city of Armagh. He was a merchant possibly in textile Mills. He was born 1795. they were married before 1826. They had 8 children all born in Armagh. Immigrated to Canada in 1848 with all 8 children. Children all born between 1826 and 1848. Any help locating any records of them would be greatly appreciated.
Dear Sue
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
The only baptism I could locate to these parents was for a son John, baptised in Lower Creggan parish, Co. Armagh on 27-Oct-1845. I couldn't locate a marriage record for the couple. Godparents on above baptism were listed as Felix Hanratty and Mary McCormick. It might be an idea too to have a look on Find My Past to see if they have any record of him as a Merchant.
Please feel free to add your ancestor to our Chronicles project along with any image you might have. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others.
Best wishes
