Lurgan is a town in Ulster. A mid-19th travel advisory by James Fraser (A Hand Book for Travellers in Ireland) records:

Close to the Lurgan station is Lurgan, one of the neatest, cleanest, and most improved of our smaller inland towns. It contains a handsome church, R.C. chapel, and a Presbyterian meeting house. Here are also a union workhouse, and the various offices, schools, &c., &c., common to a district town. The hotel is commodious and comfortable; and the appearance of the town and vicinity is greatly improved by the adjacent demesne of Lord Lurgan, to which strangers have access. The grounds of the demesne are beautifully laid out, and the modern mansion, built from the designs of Mr. Playfair, of Edinburgh, is one of the finest of our Elizabethan residences.
