Is anyone going to Proni that could solve a family myth.
This what i have been told,
That St Patrick’s cathedral in Armagh is build on Duggan/Dougan Land. Now i know this sounds far fetch, but as i have been doing the family history now for about 10 years and have found a lot of info on Proni web site that could make some sense of all this.
I do know that the duggan/dougan where shoemaker and lived in Carter school lane in Armagh.
Was told that my g grandmother got a letter looking for the dougan the owned the ground in Armagh. But she did not want to contact the news paper just in case they where after money for back tax’s
This is what i am look for in Proni
