Hello All! I am trying to find information on some of my anscestors but seemed to have hit a wall with them. I am trying to find out more about Andrew Ferguson who can be found in records of having a child Patrick Ferguson in Kinlough in 1870 with Margaret McGowan. I was hoping to find information on his birth date/death date as well as his parents. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it!
Here’s Patrick’s birth. The townland where the family lived then was Sraud:
Andrew died in 1894 aged 64:
Margaret died in 1898 aged 50:
The informants were sons John & Thomas. John was born 1877:
Kinlough RC baptism records start in 1835 so there probably isn’t a record for Andrew if he was born c 1830 but you may find Margaret’s. The RC parish records are on-line free on the National Library site:

Getting back earlier than 1835 will be difficult due to the lack of records for the parish.
Thank you! This was very helpful!
