Looking for info on my GGG grandfather from County Cork
His name was James McGloughlin and was born in Feb of 1817. He married Anna Connelly in 1848 and they relocated to USA. Thank you for any insight!!

James's headstone on FindaGrave shows he was born in Co. D---- (difficult to read), not Cork. His wife, Ann, was born in Co. Monaghan.

On the headstone, it MIGHT say Co. Doire, Irish for Co. Derry.
I found the following James baptized in Derry in the COI in 1817. His father was Henry, the same name as one of James's sons, as shown in the federaI censuses.
