McCarroll son of Patrick McCarroll and Bella Gabbeny or Gibney was born on Nov 9, 1865 in County Tyrone. He moved to the United Stated but not sure when. Do you know where I could look for more information?
Thank You

OWEN CONNELLY
Hello,
I am researching the Connelly Family history and have come to a dead end. His name was Owen Connelly (spelling may be different) he was born in 1789 and I can trace him to Cookstown, Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland. He married Mary Kelly who was born in 1795, her parents were Thomas KELLY and Anne KELLY. They had three children, William, Henry, and Margrit (she may not have survived). William was born in 1830 and immigrated to the USA where he resided in Michigan. Owen lived to be 108 years old! I am hopeful we will be able to learn where Owen came from! Any help would be appreciated! We are visiting Ireland next week, even tips on where to look in cookstown would be great! Thank you!

Tyrone.Mom was born Anna Isabella Kerr in 1906 and had 4 brothers John Alexander, David, William Thomas, and James.

I believe I am descended from Henry Robinson II, born 1776 in County Tyrone. He emigrated to America (Ohio) in 1841. His wife was Margaret Wilson, also born in Ireland in 1776. They were from near Dungannon, perhaps living on land of the Sir Francis Jarvis Estate. I'll be visiting Ireland in a couple of months.

As many are doing looking for family links. Church records here in Canada list Andrew Nickle and Mary Jane Nelson of Strabane, as parents to several of their children (Andrew, Robert etc)getting married in Montreal, Quebec. They immigrated to Canada in1882 but maybe not all together .
Great website , guess I will have to visit soon to see the area.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Is anyone looking for a missing female Donaldson descendent born about 1865 in Co. Tyrone? My great-grandmother was Ann/ie Donaldson. I'm not 100% sure but I think her parents were Annie Brackenridge and James Donaldson who may have lived in Killyneery, Clogher and Belfast. Some say she was adopted from Scotland. At 18 years of age (1883) my great-grandmother left Tyrone and sailed to New Zealand on SS Westmeath where she began a new life. She died in Opotiki, Bay of Plenty, NZ in 1929 as Mrs F. Butt. Her family here in New Zealand know nothing more about her and are very keen to get to the bottom of her family history.

McFarland left County Tyrone in 1868 when he was 17 years old and emigrated to the United States (after two years in Canada at Queens College). He eventually made his way to Kansas.

Good evening. Hoping to open a line of discussion that could lead to cooperative DNA testing. My 2nd great grandfather James Cummings was reported from County Tyrone, born around 1806, may have had a brother Matthew, and came to Ontario as an unaccompanied 8 year old. Absolutely no knowledge of left before that. While I certain't would like to track down record of him there I also have great interest in tracking down genetic relatives still in Ireland/Northern Ireland. I am an administrator for the Family Tree DNA Cummings Project and am very familiar with the tools using DNA. Would love to find existing resident R1a haplogroup Cummings to open a dialogue with.

I am searching for any information on James Henry Rush, born around 1798 in Ulster, Tyrone. He emigrated to New Brunswick Canada in 1820 and was granted land near Woodstock New Brunswick in 1821. He married and had a family there. He is died on 11/11/1875 and is burned in Richmond Corner, New Brunswick, Canada.

I am hoping to find out more about him as this is all I know about his Irish roots. I do have a copy of his land grant and his signature. I am guessing he might be added to the list of people who are from Tyrone and buried in Canada.

Thank you for any help at all.

Hello Jim,

Your website on County Tyrone has been very helpful, but unfortunately I have not been able to find the info I am searching for, and maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Perhaps you can help me. I sure would appreciate it in our genealogical search.

My great great grandparents, Henry(b. 1827) Caldwell and Margaret (Woods - b. 1826, d.21 Mar 1898) were both born Presyterian in Country Tyrone. I believe they were married in the Ardstraw Presbyterian Church just prior to 1850 and emigrated to Canada (Iroquois, ON) in 1850. I cannot seem to find their names in any of your records online. Then, Henry's grandfather (or great grandfather) William was born in County Tyrone in 1725 and died 31 Mar 1806. I have a note of his marriage to one Elizabeth Elliot in 1747.

Can you give me any further info on any of the above? Some of our relatives have enquired as to why Henry and Margaret emigrated to Canada, and to the small town of Iroquois on the St. Lawrence River. Unfortunately, we don't have any answers.

Your help (or any assistance) would be most appreciated. We have followed the line on down from Henry and Margaret, but can't seem to get anywhere going backward.

Your response or any leads would be most appreciated. Most sincerely,

G Steven Maxted

Hi there! My research has brought me to County Tyrone, and I wonder if anyone has some information on a Thomas James McSorley, b.1765-1770, d.1827 in Kilskeery. I have his mother as Mary (Cahill) McSorley, but no information on the father. He married Mary Brigitta Sweeney what looks like 1789-1791, although I do not have a date. I have a list of 9 male children, and find it hard to believe there is not one daughter of the pair! I personally descend from the youngest son, Hugh McSorley's son Alexander McSorley, as his (Alexander's) daughter, Mary/Minnie McSorley married my great-grandfather, Charles Warren J. Thurston.

I am currently researching these McSorleys, and on my father's maternal side, Sweeney and Barry. No information yet as to where they are from.

Please feel free to get in touch! Interested in sharing information. Also planning a trip to Ireland, with (so far) Tyrone, and Co. Kerry and Co. Limerick near Tralee as research destinations for next year.

Thomas Gibboney (1784-1839) married Margaret Kyle (1786-1853) on Nov 17 1805 in Co Tyrone, Ireland. Six of their children- Elizabeth, Ann, Jane, Robert E, David, and William- were born in Co Tyrone, Ireland, between 1806 and 1815. They settled in Wytheville, Virginia abt 1815-17. Robert E Gibboney (1810-1867) is the 3rd Great Grandfather to Brian Paul Kaess (b. 1967).
Sir William Emmett Kyle (1752-1793) aka 'the Belt' is a direct ancestor of Brian Paul Kaess as well. He settled in Co Tyrone during the 18th century.
I also have Miller, Leech, and Ochiltree Scotch-Irish ancestors.

My great grandfather was John O' Neill born 1867. He married Bridget Russell on 12th May 1895 in Aghaloo Parish. They both gave their addresses as Golan. The marriage certificate lists the groom's father as Henry O' Neill and the bride's father as Michael Russell. I am completing my family tree, do any of you have any further information for my tree?

Your website might be just what we need. My mother-in-law's ancestors left County Tyrone to make their home in (then) York, (now Toronto) Canada in about 1851. On the Canadian 1852 census, the family shows up as follows:

Walker, Samuel. Mason. Born Ireland aged 71 M
Walker, Mary Born Ireland aged 61 F
Irvine, Jane Born Ireland aged 32 F
Irvine, James Born Ireland aged 33 M
Walker, James, Labourer Born Ireland aged 20 M
Walker, Martha Born Ireland aged 18 F
Irvine, Edward born Ireland Age 9 M
Irvine, Andrew born Ireland Age 5 M
Irvine, Martha born Ireland Age 3 M
Irvine, Annet born Canada Age 1 F

Samuel and Mary are the grandparents, and their children are Jane (who is married to James Irvine), James Walker and Martha Walker. Edward, S(arah) Jane, Andrew, Martha and Annet are the children of James & Jane.

On Andrew's death certificate, we learn that Andrew was born in Strabane, County Tyrone. What's the best way to try and learn some more about the Irvines and the Walkers in Ireland, perhaps figuring out James Irvine's father? I have looked through all the records you have on the site and am coming up with a blank.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

My father, Patrick James Lagan, came to the U.S. in 1825. His father was Joseph Lagan and his mother, Roseann (McCullough) Lagan. His parish I believe was in Dunamore and the townland was Killuckan. He had two brothers, Mathew and Neillie. Two sisters, Mary and Catherine. The only one to remain in Ireland was Mathew, who has since passed away. The farm now belongs to cousins. I know nothing of the McCulloughs and only what I have stated above about the Lagans. Could you guide me to sources of additional information?
Regards;
Patrick J. Logan
If you are wondering about the name change it was an accident of immigration which would create generational problems to reverse.

I am the great, great, great granddaughter of Michael Donaghy who, according to my research, was born in Donaghmore, Tyrone, Northern Ireland on 06 Apr 1805. He was the son of Arthur Donaghmore and Jane (Hall, I believe). In the early to mid 1800s, Michael and his wife, Eliza Ann Nugent, moved to Halifax, Megantic, Quebec in Canada. His son, Robert, (my great, great grandfather)married Maria Fay and they moved to Caledonia County, Vermont, where my great grandmother, Lottie Belle, and her two sisters were born. How I hope to visit County Tyrone in the not-too-distant future, and see the places where my family lived.

Hi CT - I am trying to locate information re the Corr and Donnelly families of Tyrone. The Corr's were certainly in Glenbeg and the Donnellys somewhere in Dungannon. These are my great-great and great-great-great grandparents (cousins, aunts and uncles). I will be coming to Tyrone at the end of June this year (2015) and will go to the Galbally cemetery at St. John's church where I know that money was left in a will (1914) to provide headstones for Peter and Michael Corr and their parents (whose names I do not know). I think that since the four headstones would have been provided for out of the same will that there would be a record of it somewhere. Can anybody help me with this? The records are incomplete and I have spent years searching to even get this far. Many thanks.... Elaine (Sooke, BC Canada)

I'm researching Foster Morrison (born c1789) of Cornamaddy, Pomeroy. I can't find evidence of any other Foster Morrisons in Ireland in the first half og the 19th C. His wife was an Elizabeth 'Haynsford' - or some variation of that surname.
He may be the father of my ancestor, James Morrison, who arrived in Glasgow in the 1850s. I know James was an Ulster presbyterian and a Foster Morrison is recorded as his father on his death certificate.
James married Agnes Herron(or Heron). The information on my Glasgow documents is that this marriage took place in Belfast in July 1847. However, I've never found any record of this marriage.
A James Morrison, son of the above Foster, married Isabella Boyd in 1845. I don't know if this is the same James.
Any leads of any of the above would be greatly appreciated. I've come to a full stop!

Hi,
am searching for my KELSO roots in Dungannon, Drumglass, Tyrone. David KELSO married Margaret CAMPBELL. The family went to Scotland around 1850, and son James emigrated to Australia. The suburb KELSO in Townsville, Queensland Australia is named after the family.
Looks like a beautiful place to visit,

Recently found out my ancestors John & Jane Kearney (Carney) emigrated from County Tyrone on the "Cambria" in 1850.
I've visited Ireland a couple of times, but now have a reason to go to Tyrone. With this website, perhaps I'll actually find out where they were from.

They may have come to Ireland from Scotland or England during the Plantation of Ulster. Particularly Sir Alexander Hemphill. The family seems to have emigrated to America in the 1700's. Didn't find that surname listed on your site. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Let me add also that the English had the same traditional naming patterns. And as among the Irish and Scottish, so too among the English, the pattern could/would be broken for example to honour a significant friend or if the parent and the grandparent to be honoured had the same name.

Hello again....I am wanting to find a Lorna Starrs of Australia, who left a message on Ancestry message boards, way back, in 2001 or so. Lorna says that her Starrs ancestors were in Fintona, Ireland. Her G? grandparents were Peter Starrs and a wife named Catherine...They had 5 children and one was Francis Paul...I know there was a Francis Starrs at Fintona...and I'm suspecting a Michael Starrs. My Grandmother, Mary Starrs Mullen also had to go to Scotland with her husband Francis Starrs,...from Tattyreagh, Tyrone and I'm told she would return in the summers to visit family at Fintona. Fintona and Tattyreagh are geographically close. I'm wanting to find Lorna to see if we have a connection.

Thank you as usual

Do you want names added to some of the lists, as I have records from Victoria, Australia and Queensland, saying William Herbert, born abt 1844 was born Aughnacloy, Tyrone. His house was named after this town also. He emigrated with his parents in 1853 to Victoria with also 3 brothers. Father's name Richard, married to Sarah Banko. Richard was born in Turlough, MAYO, and Sarah came from Birr. William's brothers were Christopher, Frederick, Richard and possibly Thomas.

Andrew Patterson was born 1770 in Tyrone, also his sons, William 1805 and Joseph in 1808 William married first in Tyrone to Jane Birnie, born about 1808 (died before 1819) in Tyrone and had at least three sons (William, Edward, etc) before immigrating. If these names are familiar to anyone I would like to hear from you.

Hi,
I am researching the family tree on my fathers (James Colton) side. He was born in Omagh in 1906 and lived with his parents (Charles Colton-1853- and Bridget - formerly Barrett -1871-) in Church Hill Omagh, His siblings were Mary-1891, Charles-1894, Hugh 1896,Bridget 1898, Catherine 1901,Patrick 1904,and Annie -1911.

My father died when I was 4 and my mother when I was in my teens, by which time we had lost touch with the Colton family in Omagh. My dad had moved to England in his twenties. I haven't got a lot of information to go on but it would be fantastic to get in touch with any cousins and fill in the gaps in my history.
Any information would be gratefully received.

I am researching for any available information that might shed light on the Mellon family 1911 or earlier. I lived in Ireland as a child and only have vague memories of the family tree and history. If you have any redirection that would assist, such as local archives it would be greatly welcomed.

My father's maternal grandfather was Charles MILLER 1847-1912, son of Peter (1795) and Jane BAIRD Miller. Family oral history says they were from Aughnacloy Tyrone. Charles' siblings were Margaret, Mary Ann, Liza, James and William. Mary Anne m James JOHNSTON of the same town. We believe James and William stayed in Ireland. The parents and others emigrated to Pittsburgh PA before 1870. Any living MILLER descendants in the area today? Or is there any one there who could do church record looks ups for me? Thanks for any clues.

I have four sisters who came to Australia Ann (b 1825), Ellen (b 1829), Jane, (b unknown) Mary Jane (b 1826). I suspect they may have been Presbyterians. (Ann married in the Presbyterian church). Ann and Mary Jane arrived in 1841, I think they may have arrived with their mother. Jane married in 1841 and Ellen in 1846. A William King was a witness at Ann's wedding.

Our Flemings came from Tyrone to Australia in the 1800s. But have since found out that I also have surname interests for COTTON, PHILLIPS and FRAME that go back to Tyrone as well. Not to mention GRIFFITH/GRIFFIN/GRIFFEN and SOMERVILLE/SOMMERVILLE/SUMMERFIELD. (spellings vary?)

My Fleming family and Griffith family came from Dromore, Tyrone NI. I think they were planter families. John William Fleming & Mary (nee Griffin/Griffith) were living in Drumquin in 1854 when daughters Jane & Margaret Fleming came to Australia in 1854. Son Robert Fleming followed in 1879.
Many of the Griffith family were already in Australia before the Fleming family came and they
were related to Alexander Griffin/Griffith of Cornamuck Dromore and his wife Jane Summerville.
Other surnames: Rutledge, Wilson, Selfridge had marriage connections with the Griffin family.
We have a Fleming Project at dna ancestry.
http://myfamily.com/group/35397733
There are now over 300 Flemings from around the world. Kin are finding kin who have been lost to each other for generations or hundreds of years due to migration to the colonies due to Y dna matching.
If you are a Fleming male or female you are welcome to join. A female needs to find a Fleming male relative to do the Y test. It is free. DNA testing is optional but most eventually have a 43 Y marker test and can upload their results from other companies so as to compare with the rest of our Fleming males. Please spread the word about this project to all Flemings in Northern Ireland and we have many with history back to Ireland and to Tyrone already in the project.
This Co Tyrone Project Site is wonderful and I have enjoyed
visiting it for many years. God bless all those who volunteer and share information for the benefit of all.

To whom it may concern;
My name is Tom,I currenly reside in Florida,USA.

I was Born in New York.

My great grandfather and 2nd great Grandfather are from Tyrone County. They migrated to the U.S. around 1875.

My Great Grandfather's name is Andrew J. McBridehe had a brother Patrick McBride. Thier Parent's name is Edward McBride & Margaret M.(Cann) McBride. Andrew was born sometime in 1865 in a town called Menaduff. ( I can't find this town though)

I have his New York Obit and his Interment Documents for Burial in St. John's Cemetary in Queens, N.Y.

I'm wondering if you could direct me to someone who could possibly help me out in locating thier birth records and thier parents Marriage ect.?

Now that I finally found out where they are from, I will plan a trip to Ireland sometime next year. I will visit County Tyrone and County Cork. My wife is second generation American. Her grandparents are from County Cork.

Little did they know at the time they decided to migrate to America they would eventually wind up being apart of such a historical family! My roots go back to Capt. John Underhill, of Oyster Bay, L.I., N.Y. and the founding father of America!

Thank you so much for your time!
Sincerely, Tom

Looking for any information regarding my gg grandfather, Joseph Ray. My information states that he was born in "Astraugh", near Londonderry on January 10, 1810. He immigrated to the US 1828-1831. He was a minister in the Methodist faith and preached in Pennsylvania and Ohio before emigrating to Arena, Wisconsin in 1849. He preached and farmed in Arena and died there on November 27, 1884. We are wondering if "Astraugh" was misspelled/understood and that it really was Ardstraw? Any information would be appreciated.

I am searching for info on my Great Great Great Great Grandfather; William Kyle and his wife, whom I believe to be Mary Cooper.
William brought his family from Co. Tyrone to New Brunswick abt 1829. William's eldest son (and only born in Tyrone from what I can find) was John Albert Kyle born abt 1826-27 in Co. Tyrone.
A news article about John and his wife (Eliza Jane Miller Ray) celebrating them both reaching their 'four score mark' from a Woburn, MA paper (where they moved in 1885), says that John was raised on the farm in Moncton, NB (I find John and his parents in surrounding areas in various census's).
William was born abt 1808? (A guess).
I have checked the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick (website) and their database; there were several Kyle families who hailed from Co. Tyrone.
I know it is a longshot but hoping someone here might be connected to my William Kyle and his wife Mary Cooper. In the 1851 Canadian for NB census Mary's mother is also listed in their household; she is down as Margery Cooper born abt 1772 in Ireland (I assume Co. Tyrone), Mary (Cooper) Kyle was born abt 1794.
Thanks for any help.

I am a musician with an interest in collecting 18th century Prayerbooks. I have in my collection what appears to be the personal copy of a Rev. Storey from Five Mile town dated 1796. It is a small much used collection of prayers - some printed and some hand written - including many prayers for those condemned to die. I feel this may be connected to the Irish Rebellion of 1798 (?) and perhaps this was the man who officiated at the executions of some of the rebels... I am sure someone more expert than me could assess it's significance. Please do get in contact if this sounds interesting... I could send some images if you wish. Yours sincerely... Pete Churchill

I'm enjoying your site. Searching for any information leading to my great grandfather, George Conlon who was born in Count Tyrone. He left there with an infant daughter, Catherine Cecil Conlon sometime around 1865. Sadly he died in the New York draft riots within a year after his arrival. I'll keep looking! Cheers. Martha

Much to my heart's delight, I have connected with family that dates back to Ireland. Thank you to the creator of this website: I would like to find descendants of James McGoldrick and Bridget Starrs who emigrated to Philadelphia in 1885 and 1884 respectively from Tattyreagh Glebe,Tyrone.
Bridget Starrs was the daughter of my GGGrandfather from Tattyreagh, Bernard James Starrs. James McGoldrick might well have been the son of Andrew McGoldrick of Tattyreagh.
James McGoldrick and Bridget had 6 children when they emigrated: John, Bernard, James, Andrew, Edward, and Sarah. One of these six children had 12 children and the twelfth one, died only a few years ago. James McGoldrick was a shoemaker.They lived at 5208 Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia. If there is any of their descendants viewing this sight, my email is: darlenestarrs@gmail.com or darlenestarrs@hotmail.com

Great website:
I am looking for descendants of David Maguire and Mary McSwiggan of Omagh. They had several children, some of whom were: MaryAnn, who married a Thomas Sherry, Elizabeth, Ellen, Bernadette who married a James Quigley in 1910, Sarah, Alice Josephine who married a Walter Henry Furlong in 1917 and which appears to be a Wexford name. As well, I believe there was John, and Joseph D. David Maguire appeared to have come from upper/lower Dergmoney, as did, the Maguire family in question. David Maguire had a sister Anne who was counted in the 1901 Census of Omagh with them. David Maguire had a sister named Jane Maguire Starrs Mullin/Mullan...one of my GGGrandmothers. She appears to have lived the remainder of her life on Tattyreagh Glebe, Tyrone with her Son John Starrs. John was from her marriage to a Michael Starrs. I do not know the place of origin for this Michael but, Jane Maguire and Michael Starrs are also the parents to the Master blacksmith of Omagh, named Bernard Starrs who is married to Katherine Kerrigan of Leitrim. Jane Maguire later marries Patrick Mullin/Mullen of Tattyreagh Glebe and with him she has a daughter Mary or Minnie and a son Charles. In reference to Bernard Starrs and Katherine Kerrigan,they might well be related to a Peter Starrs, who is listed as a Fowl Merchant on the 1901 Irish Census for Omagh. Bernard Starrs also has a connection to the Parkes family, originally of Leitrim. As well, Bernard Starrs raised his niece and nephew, Charles Smith and Anne Jane Smith. Their mother and father, Bridget Starrs and John Smiith died in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Bernard and Katherine rescued them from an orphanage in Quebec and brought them back to Omagh. Unfortunately, they seem to vanish after the census.
I am Darlene Starrs, and the name 'Starrs' derives from the Irish name: "O'realachain", something, my Grandfather, Charles Starrs never let us forget. It is 100 years this year that he came to Canada and I am going back the other way...There is also a connection to Starrs in Wishaw Scotland. If there is anyone who knows or thinks they might be related to any persons named above or has information, that would be a thorough joy. My email is darlenestarrs@gmail.com or darlenestarrs@hotmail.com

My father, Patrick James Lagan, came to the U.S. from Killuckan, Co. Tyrone in 1926, The name was changed to Logan on the advise of relatives. Apparently at that time it was easier to find employment on Philadelphia`s main line if one were thought to be a Scot than Irish hence my father went by James Logan. My father had two brothers and two sisters; Mathew, Neil, Mary and Catherine. His mother`s maiden name was McCullough. Can you provide and family records for the Lagans and McCulloughs?

My grandfather, James McCormack (original family spelling McCormick) came from the Townland of Drumconnis over to Glasgow where my Dad, also James (Joseph) McCormack was born. My great grandfather, Patrick McCormick was a farmer. My grandfathers brothers were Andrew, Daniel and Francis John. I've never known what became of Andrew who returned to Northern Ireland or Francis John. His sisters ran the farm after my great grandfather died. Any tips on how to find out what became of them and if there are any descendants? I would be most grateful. The family were Roman Catholic. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne now.

From what I understand he wrote a couple of math books, but that is all I know of him. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it so much.

My maiden name was Agans, but I can not find anything under that name. While searching records I found some military records from New York and his name seems to have changed over time in their records, so I am guessing maybe they didn't understand the Irish dialect? If anyone might have any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am researching the Johnston's, McMullan's and Ramsa(e)y's. I found the site for the Derryloran Parrish and I wanted to thank all of you volunteers for you work. I still have a lot to discover but the work that went into providing the records from the church has helped me greatly.

Thanks again. and just FYI, My Grandfather (Samuel John Johnston) immigrated to New York (?) in 1881 and married Isabella McMullan, who immigrated in 1885 and they were married in 1888 , in Brooklyn, NY.

If any of you have information for these folks, please pass it on.

Hello, My great grand Aunt Isabelle Simpson was the last Simpson to live at the Dergenagh Farm. She sold it to the public in the 1970's for the U.S. Grant Ancestral Home. Her father was born there but immigrated to Ontario, Canada. Question: the Showerflood School postcard/photo, do you know the date and/or the Simpson's in the picture. Is there a way to contact any of these gentleman's families? I Thank you very much for your assistance.

I am researching my Hemphill and Hamilton Families from Co Tyrone, Ireland. Three Hemphill brothers , Robert,b 1832 James b 1835 and Johnston b 1837 came to Australia in the 1850's. Robert married Mary Hamilton in Termonamongan on 26.01.1855. James m Violet Hamilton ( I think the Hamilton girls were cousins)and Johnston came alone and married an Irish girl, Rebecca Kyle in Australia.
Robert and James came out on the "Sardinian"and Johnstone aboard thr "Arabia" 1859.
The Hemphill parents were James Hemphill and his wife Mary Russell. I think there was also Joseph b 1828 ,Charles b 1831, and Mary b 1834 and maybe a cousin Curtis. Another brother Wallace b 1839 went to USA. These names have come up in Family stories. Would dearly like to find more information on these families.

Hello, I have just signed up for the mailing list. I found the marriage date for an ancestor I am tracing his name was James Weir who married a Annie Hume at Tyrone 1879 they emigrated to Australia not long after I assume.

I am trying to locate the names of James parents I believe that it may be a Archibald Weir and Rachel Hamilton.
It is important that I get their names so I can see whether they are related to my Weir line.

I have tried to find somewhere,someone who may know or a webpage containing james birth in Tyrone in 1846 or thereabouts, something the same as your webpage assisted in having their marriage year and town of Tyrone.
Can you give me some suggestions please.
Thank you for reading my email.

On http://www.cotyroneireland.com/bornburied/bornburied-3.html#James_PETTIGREW

down on the second to last line -
Ebenezer [1751 PA-1795 SC]; Elizabeth [1751 AP-1779 SC];

The "AP" for Elizabeth probably should be like Ebenezer, a PA for Pennesylvanis. There isn't a state for which AP makes sense.

But again, thank you!

Hi, this is a wonderful site!
Im trying to trace the lamb family from Errigal Kieran, Foremass in Tyrone. James Lamb was born in 1806 and had several children with Ann McCusker. (Ann b1843, James b1845, Patrick b1847, Francis b1849, Alice b1851 Margaret b1857 and John b1864) I am unable to trace any marriage records for these two nor a birth certificate for Ann. I have been to visit graveyards in Tyrone but have not been able to find anything either. I am posting here in the hopes that someday, someone may know any information. Please email me if you do. Happy researching folks!

Hi, I am wondering can anyone help. My grand-mother was a Rose Fox, who married a Patrick Cahill and emigrated from Tyrone to Glasgow circa 1915. She died at my father's death and I believe was buried in Tyrone. I know that she had a brother who was the father of Peggy (Devlin), John Fox, Fr Colm Fox and others. Any help or tracing on this would be much appreciated.

Yours Suzanne Cahill

This is a great site! Please continue the excellent work. I'm researching my great-great grandparents: Hugh MCALEER (b. 1836 in County Tyrone; d: 1897 in Philadelphia, PA) who married - in Ireland - Catherine MCCRORY (b: 1836 in Ireland; d: 1812 in Philadelphia, PA). According to Catherine's death certificate, her mother's name was Catherine MCNAMEE. Hugh and Catherine had at least ten children, all born in Newtownsteward, and at least six died in Philadelphia, PA. If anyone knows anything about the MCALEER or MCCRORY or MCNAMEE families in County Tyrone, I would love to hear about them.
Thanks!

I believe the father of my mother in law here in Ohio
Michael McCaughey is the Michael that was born May 6th 1896
Because I remember looking over all the genealogy work that my poor husband, Brian did who is also gone, and realized that my Brian went to heaven on the anniversary of his grandfathers birthday.
I did some research and I am pretty sure that this is him:
Michael McCaughey Born May 6, 1896 baptised May 15th Parish Clogher, County Tyrone address Ashfield; his father being Michael and his mother being Bridget McAnally.
Of course this is all online research as I am in the USA but
perhaps it is correct.

If you discover any of this to be true kindly let me know as I am a grandma now and am starting to work again on the Family Tree that my husband loved so much.

Thank You So Much,
Eileen Hagan Ellis ( yes, Irish relatives... all)

I am looking for information on my great-great grandparents. What I know was transcribed from the Johnston Family Bible in the 1950's.
In 1806, Hugh Johnston (born about 1786) married Eleanor McFarland (born about 1788). Married in Omagh. They had a large farm & homestead, and produced the following children:
1. Ann
2. Mary
3. Margaret
4. Elleanor (married David Livingston)
5. John
6. Elizabeth (married Guy Marshall)
7. William
8. Alexander
9. James
10. Rosanna
11. Hugh (my great great grandfather) married Hanora Ryan
12. Maria
13. Charlotte

Hugh's parents were John Johnston and Ann Gillis, Eleanor's parents were Malcolm McFarland and Maria Kelley.
Hugh passed away around 1832, and his widow moved her family to St. John, New Brunswick around 1836. Two family members died there during a cholera breakout. The sons moved to East Douglas, Massachusetts, and eventually brought their mother Eleanor, and youngest sisters Maria and Charlotte.

I would love to find relatives from these ancestors, or more information on the Johnston & McFarland families.

I am search for the family of John Murray who died 1788, , York County, North Berwick, Maine USA, John may have been in Ardstraw Parish in 1725.

He may have come over with the Ulster Scot 5 ship fleet, which arrived in Boston in 1718/19. The ship he came on contained many Ulster Scot Families from Ardstraw parish, County Tyrone NI, escaping the hard times in Northern Ireland, led by there local Presbyterian Minister. They arrived first in Boston and a large group from the ship walked to Worcester MA and moved on to Rutland MA. And some moved on to Londonderry NH. And Berwick, Maine.

A James Murray died in Ardstraw Village in 1776 he may be a relation. Any suggestions where I might find Murray's in and around Ardstraw would be a big help. We have been following this trail for over 20 years and it would be nice to come to the end. /Thanks Rick Murray

While doing some genealogy I found that my blood line comes from County Tyrone in Clogher. Its comes from William I. & Margaret Little. William born in 1830 and left for the United States around 1849,at the age of 19, along with his wife. His and her final resting place is in Nebraska, United States. I plan to do more research and eventually travel to County Tyrone and the city of Clogher.
If any Little?s from that area have any more information please share. Thank you all.

My ancestor William Knight, b.1800 in Co. Tyrone, married Jane Patterson (date unknown). They had a son, William Jr. The three of them sailed to Canada in May, 1824, arriving at the port of Montreal in July. They continued their journey, taking a steamer down the St. Lawrence until they arrived in Ontario, settling in and around Frontenac County (Arden, Napanee, etc.). William and Jane went on to have several more children, about ten in all and William's occupation was a farmer. He died in 1888. I could not locate any death record for Jane, so do not know when she died.
I did months of research on several websites, not just ancestry dot com and I'm very happy to have William and Jane as my ancestors. I'm coming to Ireland for the very first time this September (2012) and I will absolutely be stopping in Tyrone!! I'll stop in a pub and have a pint for William and Jane. Cheers!!

I am the great granddaughter of Moses and Emily (or Emma - nee Berrington or Broughton)Graham. My Grandfather William was born in 1874/5 in Omagh, though some records say Belfast. His mother died at his birth and father 4 years later. There were two other children, John and Margaret. The orphans were cared for by "Aunt Martha" Douglas, we think in Strabane.

I am desperate to find if John has any descendants and Moses and Emily any siblings from whose lineage we might get more information.

The family were importing Western Red Cedar from Canada.
William emigrated to Australia in 1909 and died 1922.

There was an Aunt Minnie who was a teacher and her last know address i n 1922 was c/-JF Douglas, 295 Fifth Ave, NEW YORK CITY

His oldest son was named Francis and I wonder if that was Peter's father's name. He settled in Carlton County New Brunswick, Canada. My gggrandmother was Eleanor Johnston (b. 1807?) in Dungoghy (Dunavoghy), Lisbellaw/Dunvoow, Fermanagh. Any help referencing these places would be wonderful. If only I knew Peter's father and mother and siblings it would help. Eleanor's dad was named William (b.1781) in Dunagoghy, Fermanagh
There is something special about being Irish and I can't wait to visit.

His grandfather said that they had sailed out of Cork. His first known immigrant was John Calvin/Colvin in the mid 1700's. Not much to go on, but we are optomistic.

My grandmother is Elizabeth Johnson or Johnston. My grandfather is Alan Buchanan. They were first cousins, I think. They had a daughter together (Sarah Quinn) and gave her up to a woman in Belfast to raise in early January 1932. She was born Dec. 26th 1931, in Belfast. It was a well kept secret for obvious reasons.

I know very little other than he went into the clergy in 1932 and was Archbishop of Christ Church in Dublin for a while. I know she married someone much later and had a son, also named Alan. I would love to know his full name. He is my mother's step brother. I would love any information anyone can find for me.

Thank you,

My research indicates my 8th G-Grandfather, John Moor(e) lived in Ardstraw prior to emmigrating to the Massachusetts Colony in America about 1718. I believe his parents to be William Moor(e) and Elizabeth Halliday (Haliday). I also believe he had a sister, Sarah. I am interested in communicating with anyone who has information about this Moor(e) family line.

He was the son of DANIEL MAUNSELL of Merrion Square, Dublin, and Ballywillan, county Leitrim. His wife was Alice Frend Maunsell. Rev. Maunsell's son, Dr Samuel Edward Maunsell, married Madeline Cecilia Dickson, daughter of John Burnie Dickson of Fintona and India.
I am writing a biography of my grandfather, Inspector George Edward Maunsell, who was the son of Daniel Toler Thomas Maunsell, Rev. Maunsell's eldest son.
Your website has already provided me with dates of births and deaths, and I would be very happy to receive any more information about Rev. Maunsell and his family that might be available in Fintona.

Donaghcavey Cemetery Iscriptions

Hello Phil, thanks to you and the other involved for your work in providing the information re the above. My family originated from that area and two of the transcribed headstones, I am sure, relate to my family.

Row M
108 IHS/ Edward Sloden d./ t.1./ January, 19th, 1817 / Aged 30 Years.
109 IHS/ H.1.t.b.o. Owin Sludon / who dyed May the 9, 1719.


My great grandfather was Edward Sludden who came to Scotland c1840, and was born around 1808, there will be a connection to Edward Sloden and Owin Sludon, which I am trying to piece together.

Can you advise me if all the headstones in Donaghcavey Cemetery have been transcribed (where possible) and are there other cemeteries in that area where some info may be found.

Kind Regards

Always seeking further information on the McKell name (var: M'Kell) in Co. Tyrone, who were present in Portadown and Dungannon in (at least) the early 1800s. Most were Wesleyan Methodists. Have found a few grave markers in CofI churchyard in Moy for James McKell and his wife Margaret nee Jones.

Been searching a long time for McCanns in Tyrone.
Timeframe to arrive in NY was 1831 - Thomas McCann (Single approximate age 37-30)
Listed at Immigrant bank - "Native of Lowthestown, seven miles from Enniskillen (Co. Fermanagy) but burials in Pottstown, Schuykill County, Pennsylvania, USA listed McCann as coming from Cappagh,Co. Tyrone.

Any possibility that these location could be compatible?

Thank you! Viann

I descend from William McCracken and his wife Margaret from County Tyrone. They immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1854. My guess is both were born about 1835. There are so many McCracken's in Iowa from this couple and I would enjoy knowing more of the Irish family. Anyone who believes they are related to this William and Margaret....please contact me. William became a train operator in Baltimore, Maryland.

My mom is an O'Neill and she had a block because a lot of R.C birth records have been burned.

On the list from Stewartstown I found Edward, who could be the link.

If Edward O'Neill immigrated to Canada, he could be my great great grandfather.

My mother's genealogy search stops there. Edward would have been born c. 1820 ? Because his son James Francis was born c. 1845.

I'm trying to find some information on my great grandparents. William Irwin,in Ireland, in county Tyrone(born 1820#. William his wife Elizabeth Eliza Irwin #nee Clinton), immigrated to Canada in 1953 with their four year old son Robert Irwin. They went to Port Hope, and later to Midland Ontario. My Greatgrandparents grave stone says they were from County Tyrone in Ireland. They were Presbyterian in religion in Canada and likely attended a Presbyterian Church in Ireland. I suspect they would have had adddional family in county Tyrone. Any assistance on finding information about siblings of either greatgrandparent or suggestions on where to look is greatly appreciated.

Nice browsing through your site.
I'm trying to find any info available for my paternal grt-grandmother...Edith(Edwards)Anna Mary McKean born 9 Oct 1865 in Co.Tyrone. We are not positive but have been led to believe she might have been born in Leckpatrick parish possibly to a Samuel McKean and maybe a Louisa Higgins quite possibly unmarried. We are not sure about the 'Edwards' part of her name which shows in the family bible and on my paternal grandmothers marriage licence where she has listed her mother's name as Edith Edwards yet it does not show on various other documents including her siblings marriage licences.
Edith was born in Tyrone and at some point made her way, probably alone, to eastern Canada where she connected with a young man by the name of David Cole Nice born about 1863. They had two sons, one in 1885 and the other in Feb.1887 while in Nova Scotia/New Brunswick, then between Feb and the end of June migrated to Vancouver, BC where David drowned in a fishing accident in the Fraser River on 9 July 1877. The following year Edith married my paternal grt grandfather James Errington in Vancouver where they lived until her death in 1941 and his in 1946. If anyone can help with her beginning years and her parentage I'd be grateful. I maintain the shared tombstone of both Edith and James in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver, Bc, Canada and visit it often willing it to give up their stories.

My great grand parents and great, great grandparents are from Northern Ireland (Millview House, Castlecaulfield, County Tyrone). I'm trying to find out more information but having a hard time. I don't even know my great grandmother's maiden name. Don't know much but am currently searching and searching. I hope one day soon to visit County Tyrone to look in on some relatives - but first I have to find out who they are!!!! See you soon Ireland!

Can anyone please help? I am looking for info on Robert
Micklam who married Margaret Short of Drumneil in 1743.
I think he may be my husband's gg/Grandfather although
there is a slight difference in the spelling, which was
not unusual in those days. He migrated to Ireland from
Scotland. There is another Robert Meaklim of Drumneil who was a witness to the marriage of Nancy Short and Edward
Anderson, Farmer of Fidor, 7 May 1861. This Robert I take
to be the grandson of Robert Micklam and the grandfather
of my husband, whose forebears came from Drumneil.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Was doing some research on my Irish beginnings. In my line, Catherine Mills married John Bannon, 8 Aug 1834 at Church of St. Michael in Donaghmore, Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Would you know if this church and records are still there? The Irish country side is just remarkable. Thank you. Vicky Hand, Chillicothe, Ohio, USA
