The surname McGreevy in the mid-19th century was found mainly in Co. Down, Co. Roscommon and a few other counties. The subscription site Roots Ireland has five Hugh McGreevy baptismal records from 1837-1843 but none in 1839. Keep in mind that a good number of parishes do not have records back to 1839. Also, he may have adjusted his year of birth when he arrived in England.
Do you have any information on the names of the parents of your ancestor?
Have you considerd DNA testing?
