Synopsis :

Although the Civil Parish of Lambeg comprises only five townlands, it contained one of the greatest concentrations of linen manufacture in the world. This book gives the history of the Lambeg area and of the Barbours, Richardsons and other families who lived within it.

À propos de l?auteur: Fredrick Gilbert Watson, born in Belfast, had family ties with Lambeg and has lived in the area for the past four decades. He is married with four sons and four granddaughters. Since taking retirement he has pursued his interests in family and local history.
