Hello Len Thanks for the information which is really interesting. I have had a look at Andrew Ferguson Knox’ will but he doesn’t detail his property. I can see I will have to visit Proni sometime to get the information I am interested in. That probably won’t be for a while unless I can persuade my husband we need another holiday over there. Thanks again Marion Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Charles Knox who was incumbent of Urney 1813-14 was brother to Rev. William Knox (later Bishop of Derry). They were sons of Thomas Knox of Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, 1st Viscount Northland (later 1st Earl of Ranfurly). Robert Knox, 2nd son of Charles became Primate of All Ireland. Rev. Charles of Urney was not removed, but resigned Urney following his elevation to the archdeaconry of Armagh. Both the Established Church and Trinity College, Dublin gained their income from lands in all counties granted to them following the Reformation. Many of these lands were disposed of following the Act of Disestablishment. I am unable to comment on the roles of Andrew Ferguson Knox and Thomas F Knox post Griffiths Valuation. Perhaps their wills will indicate if they purchased some of the Urney townlands? The Derry Estate records have been deposited in PRONI, Belfast: early surviving records include Rentals commencing 1617 and numerous petitions from tenants 1768-1803. Trust this helps, Len Swindley Sent from Mail for Windows 10
