I just peeked at your new web site. Do you have any material on the
connections between the JACKSONs and ORRs in Co. Down? I am wanting to
learn more about the records mentioned at PRONI T808:Down will made 23
August 1723 proved 4 March 1723.

churchyard. Wife Anna's JACKSON alias KELL and three daughters Sarah
Janet and Anne JACKSON all minors and unmarried, legacies to Gilbert
