Looking for any information on John Darragh born Abt 1778 in Tamnaficarbet, Lurgan. Married Mary Tipping abt 1800. John was sent as a convict to Australia in 1813. His son Felix who was youngest born of 6 children in 1808, came out to join his father in Australia in 1840. Felix married Alice McGee in 1830. Alice's parents were Roland and Martha Mcgee
Hi Marg,
Thank you for your message. Unfortunately it may be difficult to find further information due to John?s early birth and transportation date.
Here is a link to Armagh Ancestry which shows what records are available online, as you can for Seagoe church records do not start until circa. 1830?s.

I did do a quick search for Darragh in Griffith?s Valuation and there was on result for Darragh in Seagoe:
I wonder if this was one of John?s other sons?
Here are some websites that you may find useful, hopefully you can find some more references to the Darragh?s through one of these:
