DonegalKillybegs Lower (Donegal)

Searching for information on family of Thomas Carscadden, born about 1783 in Killybegs (not sure I am in the correct parish). Married to Mary Gartley. They had 8 children Mary, Arthur, Andrew, Margaret, Jane, Alice, Catherine and Anna. After Mary died, Thomas immigrated to Canada after his son Arthur had immigrated. Some of the daughters also immigrated but not sure which ones. It is thought that Thomas and Arthur (and probably Andrew) immigrated in the 1840s, possibly 1850s. Daughter Mary married Andrew Morrow and it is reported that they came to Canada in 1866.

I have no information on Thomas regarding parents or siblings.
