  Notes	(Research):http://www.yclc.ca/indexz.html the Halpennys, the Chamneys, the James, the Hopkins, the Codds, the Twamleys, the Jacksons, the Dowdalls had all been members of a single (Church of Ireland i.e. Anglican) church in Ireland - St. Michael's Church in Aghold Parish in Wicklow County near the villages of Shillelagh and Coolkenno, and the town of Tullow just across the County Carlow border.  To this day, St. Michael's church ministers to members of these same families - who at the turn of the nineteenth century were served by Rector - James McGhee. Yet, the family members who came between 1820 and 1823 had largely become Wesleyan Methodists. Records of St. Michael's are, unfortunately, partial, and in some cases - missing - but they often mention some of the above-named emigrants specifically - and while there are no apparent Boyds, McCreerys or McGees - who were said to have come from Armagh - clearly the Lanark County community had been laergely built around these former members of St. Michael's - in Wicklow.  To the right is a painting I did of St. Michael's Church as it might have looked when my ancestors attended here in the early 19th Century. Below is one of several pages which list, among others, the families who emigrated. On this fascinating (to me) page we see the marriage of Edward Chamney  to Jane Twamley in 1762, the baptism of their son, John a year later and the baptism of Lancelot and Abigail Jackson's daughter Margaret. We also see a plethora of Codds , Chamneys, Twamleys and Halpennys, whose families had been caught up in the Irish Rebellion of 1798.  Rector James McGhee had, in 1798, led a valiant defense of the embattled Protestant community, a Captain Chamney had lost his life alongside Halpennys, Codds and Twamleys - who had also died in the fighting. A one-page extract naming Codds and Twamleys appears below.  Further records from this rather large collection can be perused at: http://www.halpenny.net/general/aghold.html
