Hi Bruce, I am assuming that Samuel Hood was connected to the Hoods who owned the large department store in Newtownstewart and is therefore a well known and relatively wealthy branch of the Hoods. Back in 2016, I researched the "minor" branches of Hoods from the surrounding area, specifically

Hi Bill, Unfortunately there are at least six James Blacks living in Tyrone in the Griffiths Valuation of 1859, which records every head of household. This means you need some more clues. There will be no civil birth for Alexander, which would be a clincher as Alexander is a much less common

Apposite timing, Len, I am just working on a Henderson feasibility study and searching newspapers is never a first priority for that as it is so difficult to extract each morsel. Just one quibble with all those "Esquires", I doubt my dirt poor farmers in Carnteel are going to feature large!

Christine, I am assuming both sets married in England. Do you have their marriage certs? We need to know the names of the fathers. Even then, it will be very difficult without something more to go on than Tyrone because there are no Civil Births before 1864. But at least a name of the father,

Hi Margaret, I am a "researcher" currently working on a project very similar to the one you describe. And after weeks of research, I have not found that magical "smoking gun" which you seem to desire. Thankfully, I am not being expected to do so and I made that clear at the start when I offered

Hi David, I am currently researching the Irwins of Claremore, Parish of Clogher, County Tyrone, who also emigrated to Ontario. But since they came from Clogher, that means they are NOT your Irwins. Except for the fact that we are not 100% sure our Irwins did come from Clogher and you do not

Coming up empty here, Patricia. I cannot find any such birth registered in Omagh Reg Dist and I cannot find James in the 1900 or 1910 US Fed Census, to see what details he gives, nor in Philly deaths, which are usually so helpful. Do you have any more details on him. Names of parents? Death
