Cavan / Re: Stevenson in Co. Cavan, Meath, Down (1596-1829)

I know I'm grasping at straws but I have been trying to find the family of my grandfather for many years now & wondered if they could somehow be connected to your Stevensons:
His name is Thomas McConnell Stevenson.
Born in 1865 (or possibly 1864) Marriage & death certificate say he was born in "Belfast".
Father's name on the marriage cert. is William Stevenson & his mother's maiden name is Mary Moag
Father's occupation on marriage cert is: farmer
Thomas left Ireland sometime before the 1890s & ended up in Fiji where he married my grandmother in 1894
Died in Auckland, NZ in 1913 when my father was a child.
There is a William McConnell Stevenson christened in the Killinchy Presbyterian Church, Co Down on 16.7.1832, father: Matthew Stevenson, however, I have not been able to establish this William as his father. The date & middle name fit in though.
