Hello Linda,
I did a little research recently for a Canadian friend who had Turkingtons amongst her ancestors.
The immpression that I got is that the greatest number of Turkingtons lived on the Co. Armagh/Co. Down border in the vicinity of the towns of Portadown and Lurgan. There is also a small Co.Tyrone branch.
If you go to:- www.genseek.net/miss02.htm you should be able to see two little newspaper items from the 1890s which relate to Irish Turkingtons with a Scottish connection.
If you have difficulty finding the site come back to me and I will send you a transcript.

I also need to find some 'free' websites to research my irish genealogy. Thanks.

The Pierce Turkington(born 13.04.1874) is my grandfather. I live in Scotland and am keen to find any Turkington relatives in Ireland or elsewhere. I would like to find out names,d.o.b. etc of Pierce's siblings / descendents.

Margaret Campbell,
I feel we may be related. Can you give me any other family information to confirm this? My father was David Turkington, from Greenock, Scotland.

Fionna Marble nee Turkington

I remember your grandfather and his Norwegan Wife visiting our family before they left for Canada they also had two children a boy and a girl, Iam guessing that this girl would be your Mother so if she is she would be my cousin.
