Thanks for this very kind offer.

Can you please look up any Mulherins.

My gg grandfather Patrick was born in Drumragh in 1818.  I have this information from his army service record (attestation 1835 in Glasgow, Scotland).  The only other information I have is on his marriage certificate (India 1845) which states his fathers name was also Patrick.

Many thanks
Regards
Alan

Would be grateful if you would look up any McGaugheys.  My ggrandfather was James McGaughey - documents state he was born Omagh, Clappagh (Cappagh?) around 1830.  He died in England, but I am interested in any others who might be related in Omagh.  His father was Richard McGaughey, and that is the only other name I have for definite.
Many, many thanks.

In the Eskra RC cemetery, eight miles south of Omagh, and alongside St. Patrick's chapel, I would greatly appreciate it if you could look up the McCARROLLs and BOGANs.  They are in the western half, or the older part, of the graveyard - close by the Eskra Post Office.  I am particularly interested to see if there are grave markers for Owen McCarroll - that is plural - for the Corkhill area. 

There is one Owen McCarroll marker that I have visited a number of times because it is my family's plot.  Unfortunately, it was a visit to honor the dead and not to find out anything about the deceased, which I am now trying to do.

It seems as though there may have been two Owen McCarrolls, and they were both married to Catherines, that lived up in the Corkhill townland in the mid-1850s.  (One may have been married to a Catherine McGinn, but my great grand mother was Catherine McCusker, who was from Agharonan and died at Curr in 1916.)

Hello Tyrone,

It might be an idea to purchase a copy of "Tombstones of the Omey" which was was published by Omagh Family History Society in 1998 if you don't have one already. It contains over three thousand entries of headstone inscriptions recorded from graveyards in the Omagh area. It may save you a little bit of leg work. If the book is no longer available there should be one in the Omagh library.

HI Christopher,

Thanks for your email, regarding Look ups in Omagh Area.  You mentioned a book that had been published called "Tombstones of the Omey"  Thankyou for that, I will tell my husband about it, and if he he interested he may want to get it.
