Hi, I am trying to find connections to the McSorley family who, at one time, lived in the Curr Beragh/Castlederg areas.
Do any of those listed below mean anything to anyone?
James McSorley
his son Hugh McSorley (bc1820) married Eleanor Rafferty (Cooley) They had 7 children that I know of:
1 dau Mary (b1840)
2 son John (b1841)
3 dau Ann (b1843)
4 son Michael (b1846)
5 son Patrick (b1848) married (1871) Susan Thompson (bc1847). They had 8 children that I know of:
Catherine (b1872), James (B1874), Isabella (b1875), Patrick (b1878), Mary (b1880),
William (b1882), Susan (b1885) & Bridget (b1888)
6 son Peter (b1853)
7 dau Eleanor (1855)
Can anyone help? Any and all help appreciated
All the best

Jacqui:
The 1901 census for Curr townland has three different McSorley families not sure how they are connected to your ancestors. No McSorleys in beragh in the 1901 census.
I also looked at the 1859 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Clogherny civil parish and there were a number of McSorley entries including some in Curr and Beragh.
I also provide a link to a good Co. Tyrone genealofy site.

Hi Roger
Thank you so much for this. Although I already have some of this information, it's still great to get. You never know what you may have missed.
