Sligo / Re: McDermott( Lackagh) Co Sligo

I'm following all leads, and Sligo is close to McDermott country in Roscommon.  Don't know anything about him.  Alas, didn't ask enough questions and my grandmother's been gone 30 years.  I'm going to keep looking but this was an interesting clue.

I'm new to this. :)  I'm looking for McDermott ancestors.  My gggrandfather Andrew McDermott came to North America in 1860 and died in 1875.  When he died at age 37, there was an inquest which told us 'he was an Irishman from the North".  From what I've read, Sligo is a likely place for there to be McDermotts.  I have a baptism in Co Sligo, 10 Feb 1839, with a John McDermott as father and Bridget McDonnell.  They were catholics.  At one point, Andrew lived with my ggrandmother Susannah McCormick in Rochester, NY.  Then they moved to Ontario Canada and he worked on the railroad.  Does this fit with anyone?
