Hello Listers, This may shine a little light on Bob’s query to the CTI List:
Extracted from the Westmeath Journal, March 13 1828 REFORMATION MEETING: A meeting of the Reformation Society took place at Omagh on Tuesday last, according to appointment, and the Chair was taken by the Chief Sheriff at 12 o’clock. The speakers on the Protestant side were the REV. MR. ATHILL, CAPTAIN GORDON, REV. MR. TOMES, and the REV. GIDEON OUSELEY, Methodist Irish Missionary. The Chair was also addressed in turn by three Roman Catholic Priests, who requested that the Meeting should be adjourned sine die, which was overruled and it was adjourned till next day at twelve o’clock, when the business of the Society was to have been proceeded with. The majority of the persons who attended were Roman Catholics, who listened with great attention, and all separated in the most peaceable and orderly manner.

You had said in your previous email he was Rev William Pilkington. Now you say Rev Jos Pilkington, I guess your looking at 2 generations? Thanks for commenting. You had no luck at google books? Usually find some obscure info there. Tammy - - /Love the Hunt & Love the Stories!
