Comments: I just discovered my ancestor was Henry Kelly. I don't know what county or parish. He immigrated sometime before 1804 when his son Henry Anslem Kelly was born in 1804 in Maryland, USA. I have his Y haplo group but only 4 matches so far and they are too many generations apart.
He married Margaret McGonigle in 1827 in Maryland. I don't know her parish, county, or parents yet.

Comments: My ancestor Thomas Davidson is from County Tyrone, Ireland. He was born about 1750, was married to Betsy Pearce. They had at least one son, George Thomas Davidson born 1781. Information says that he was born on the Caledon Estate. George Thomas Davidson married Agnes Mary Oliver in 1803 DONAGHMORE, TYRONE 5296. Their children all born in County Tyrone are: Agnes 1804, Elizabeth 1805, Nickley 1806, Susannah 1809, George Thomas 1811, Jane 1812, Robert Thomas 1817, George 1820. The family emigrated to Lower Ireland, Inverness, Quebec, date unknown. I do not have any information on the siblings of Thomas Davidson, Betsy Pearce (born in Dublin?), George Thomas Davidso or his wife Agnes Mary Oliver. Are any of the descendants of any of these ancestors still living in the area or is there any more information known about them? We would like to get in contact with any known living relatives. Thanks, Dan Buckley

Comments: I have been searching for several years for my great great great grandfather James Henry Rush from County Tyrone. Possibly from Castlederg. He was born in 1798. Migrated to New Brunswick Canada in 1820. Canadian census records list him as being a farmer and his religion is Episcopalian. This is all the information I have for Ireland. Everything else is from Canadian records.
Thank you!
