Hello, Audrey. My wife is a Mcsorley and her father was a Thomas Anthony McSorley. He married Margaret Ann Devine in 1934. I have plenty of info. on the Devine side but little for the McSorleys. I believe they were involved with the Forestry industry in Tyrone and there may of been a Scotch link as well. I'm afraid that's all I can volunteer at the moment.. Ron H.

Heslop- there have been lots of new resources put online since you've started this thread so it might be worth checking some of them if you haven't done so already.

civil registration index (http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c=fs%3A1408347)- goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties
