The 1911 U.K. Census shows that my Grandfather James Semple was born in 1860 in "LISTERGAN" N. Ireland, has anyone ever heard of an Area - Townland - Parish of that name or of a similar name, it would probably be in the Co Down area or possibly Co Armagh. Any information much appreciated.

Regards
James Semple (Grandson)
