Hi Dorothy This is likely no help to you but on the of chance I though I would include it. There are two McQuaid names in the hundred regiment of Foot both named Mike one from Anghhlan and one from Kilskerry. One a school master and one a Labourer. They joined the regiment in 1812 and 1816 interestingly their names were spelled McQuaid and McQuaide I suspect to keep them separate. The Labourer Mike McQuaid was part of an immigration pattern to Goulbourn and took a land grant in Ontario and the other Mike likely returned to Tyrone. If this is of no relation of yours possibly it might help someone else?

Assuming that the McQuaids and Crosseys were Catholic, I referred to the online RC registers for Clonfeacle https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0199 and found the occasional McQuaid/ McQuade/McWade entry, but with the greatest difficulty – the quality of filming is poor, many entries impossible to read and townlands are not recorded in the baptismal registers. Your forebears may be there, but who would know. There are several McQuaids and Crosseys recorded in the 1833 Clonfeacle tithe applotment book; perhaps you connected them to your research or gathered data relevant to them for future use? Best wishes, Len S
