From - "The Huguenot Settlements in Ireland", by Grace Lawless Lee 1936 ISBN: 0788420054:
Map in the book shows Lurgan as a location of Huguenot weavers, but with
no Huguenot church.
"by intermarriage with the Anglo-Irish population, and the Anglicization
of the French names, the settlements grew indistinct, and little now
remains to mark them" ... "The most important settlement north of Dublin and perhaps
the most important in Ireland where that country is concerned, was established in the
ruined village of Lisnagarvey in 1698: other colonies, more or less off shoots of this are
to be found in Dundalk and Lurgan..." According to the book linen and such were "unknown" in the north until the French arrived.
