Armagh ancestor search for the surname " Ireland "

ArmaghDerrynoose (Armagh)

Hello...I am a new member here at Ireland xo....

My name is Robert Ireland. I am researching my paternal ancestry. My dad's paper trail ends/begins in county Armagh, with the emigration of William Ireland (born around 1800-1805). He emigrated to Ontario Canada in the 1820's and married a Francis McManus (1810-1888 from Cavan Ireland) in Niagara, Ontario, in 1829. Tithe Books for county Armagh show a number of 'Irelands' in parish Derrynoose in the early 1800's.
I am planning a trip to Armagh late in June. I am curious to know if you have any knowledge of the surname Ireland surviving in your parish. If it is significant, I believe my Irelands were Presbyterians.
Thank you for consideration.
Robert Ireland

I’d be inclined to write to the Ministers at the 2 Presbyterian churches in Keady and ask them if they know of any Irelands in their current congregations:

I looked in the current phone book for that area (postcode BT60) but no Irelands are listed.

In Bassett's Ireland 1888, the following are shown, in Lislea several Irelands, in Lisnadill, more including a Robert Ireland, and in Lurgan, Ireland Bros. Grain merchants. might be of some help. Good luck.
