I am trying to obtain information about William Savage, who was a JP and prominent in the linen industry in Lisburn. He was born in the 1830s and married Mary Skillen on 28th April 1854 at Kilmore, Co.Down. They had three children: Alfred, b. 19th March 1864, Lisburn, Hannah Matilda, b. 11th June 1865, Lisburn, and Emily, b. 3rd July 1867, Lisburn and It is known that William lived into the 1890s, and his daughter Emily inherited the family home at 1 N. Circular Rd., Lisburn, where my uncle visited her in 1947, when she was 80! Do you know if he is mentioned in any Lisburn publications?
