Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Ancestry provided you with some general areas where your ancestors came from. It is likely that you had ancestors from Northern Ireland and also in the general area around Longford/Leitrim/Cavan. Your next step would be to identify your ancestors who were born in Ireland and emigrated. Can you provide us with their names and approximate years of birth?  Also having their parents names would be important for searching Irish church and civil records.

I searched for records using the subscription site Roots Ireland. I found an 1823 marriage in Co. Tyrone for a Hugh Hagan and Ellen Daly. You show an 1820 year of birth for Hugh and Ellen but most likely there were born closer to 1800. Clonfeacle is a border parish. The majority of the parish is in Co. Tyrone but part of the parish was in Co. Armagh. I only found one baptismal record for a son John in 1832. No other siblings. See below. I did not find a marriage for a Hugh McGlory and Mary Katherine Halsy. There is a surname Hallisy/Halisy found in Co. Cork and there are baptismal records around 1840 for a Mary Hallisy. I copied the 1840 record below but without knowing her parents names, you can't confirm this record or others. Did not find a Robinson/Gawel marriage

Very possible that Sarah and Catherine were related to Hugh but no way to verify since baptismal records start in 1814.
