---

[1] Andrew OLIVER of Brootally, Co. Armagh. It is quite likely that this is Andrew Bradford OLIVER (1818-1877), son of Benjamin OLIVER and Elizabeth BRADFORD and that this deed deals with a marriage that involved a first wife (he subsequently married Anne NORRIS some time before 1853).

[2] William OLIVER of Brootally, Co. Armagh. If he is an uncle of Andrew Bradford OLIVER, then he would be of Ennislare and likely the husband of Elizabeth BALLANTYNE. I do not have a death date for him, but there was a probate for William OLIVER of Brootally for 1854, a farmer.

[3] Andrew Coulter BRADFORD (1788-1847) of Cavananore was the brother of Elizabeth BRADFORD and brother-in-law of Benjamin OLIVER (1765-1831) of Ennislare & Killynure, Co. Armagh. He died unmarried.

[4] Cavananore, Co. Louth was the home of Mary Jane OLIVER (1821-1875), daughter of Benjamin OLIVER and Elizabeth BRADFORD.

[5] NOTE: What is this deed of assignment bearing date 2 Sept 1841?

[6] Anne HANNA married Andrew OLIVER at Eglish Parish on March 22, 1843. SOURCE: LDS. This date agrees with the date given in the Marriage Bonds Index of Armagh. It is possible she was b. DEC 1819   Eglish Parish, Armagh, Ireland. (SOURCE: LDS Batch C700811) and that her mother’s name was Martha and that she had siblings named Maria, William, Alicia, and Elizabeth – all christened at Eglish Parish.

[7] William HANNA d. bef 1843

[8] Taraskane AKA Terraskane, Parish of Eglish, Co. Armagh. In 1753 Armagh Freeholders lists it was known as Terryskean. PRONI D/1928/F/1B

[9] John HANNA possibly the brother of Anne HANNA.

[12] Elmpark AKA, Mullaghatinny, Parish of Eglish. It is on the border of the townland of Killylea and is just a few townlands south west of Mullintur.

[13] James OLIVER of Brootelly. Following the earlier reasoning, he could be another uncle and he probably died in 1853. (Will probate for James OLIVER of Brootally). He was a farmer.

[14] Killylea, Parish of Tynan, Co. Armagh

[15] NOTE: Need to find this lease of 15 Aug 1830
