I am looking for possible information on a William and Jane Douglass who had a daughter named Margaret Jane Douglass born in February 1848/49. If it is the same Margaret, who happens to be my 3x Great Grandmother, then she came over to NY around 1869/70.
I'd appreciate any connections that are out there.

Good Afternoon
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.
As you can see from the link below, Drumachose is a Cicil Parish in Co. Derry:
Church of Ireland records for Drumachose begin in 1729 while records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Newtown begin in 1855.
There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:
www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.
www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.
Some other websites that may be helpful are:
The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/ - you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too
The National Library of Ireland: http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx
