Tyrone / Hyndman/Hindman Omagh
« on: Thursday 07 May 09 00:25 BST (UK) »
I have been on the board hoping for help with this before but having just come back from another trip to the parish church in Omagh I thought it might be time to try and get past the major stumbling block in my family history once again. 
I am looking for any possible information on John Hyndman born circa 1786 location unknown who married Margaret nee Hunter in approximately 1825 and who died in Cappagh, Omagh (Mountjoy East) 23rd March 1861. In the death register at the church he is shown at "of Coromary" we also noticed a couple of unrelated headstones in the cemetery which said from Corrymorey or Corymoney which may be the same place. The Canon at the church had never heard of this location but assumed it had to be somewhere local. However since I returned I have found an mention in Griffiths Valuation 1848 - 1864 for a "John Hyndman, Antrim, Carnmoney, Glengormly" I know this cant be my John Hyndman as during that period he was siring children in Killyclogher and Mountjoy East.. but the coincidence of name and Carnmoney gives me reason to wonder.
A little while ago someone contacted me by email through this board saying that they thought he was a mutual relation, I replied but got nothing back so, whoever you are, if you have any information I would love to hear from you. In addition if anyone out there has any ideas where I may be able to go from here to find out his origins I would be really grateful
Many thanks

I also think I have another idea .. my relative said in the original research that they could not read the writing properly but assumed the place they were reading was Shanghray .. I wonder if it could have been Staughroy which is along side Lisanelly, I mean would these people have moved very far from their roots unless they had to (e.g by emigrating) 
. Oh well it will be a nice break I am sure and we will go to Cappagh parish church just in case.
