Can anyone help me please.
I hope to plan a trip to Belfast to do research and visit the area where my Ancestors came from.
My Ancestors were Handloom weavers and I would like to know if there is a local Museum in and around the Newtownards area or maybe near that shows the life and times of a weaver back in the 1800, I believe weaving was a cottage industry.
any help would be great
thank you
Fiona
