Good Afternoon
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.
As you can see from the link below, Aghalurgher is a Civil Parish in Co. Fermanagh:
http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=TownlandsInCivil&civilparishid=949&civilparish=Aghalurcher&citycounty=Fermanagh
Church of Ireland records for the parish begin in 1867 while records for the corresponding Roman Catholic parish begin in 1835. As this is the case there will be no church records for James and his children.
You may have to consider undergoing an information gathering exercise as a way of getting as much information as possible about James and his family or indeed the family name in that area. You could try searching the Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith?s Valuation. Even though these sources only list the head of household, it can be useful information:
Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1837): http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp
Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864): http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
You also have a look at the 1901/1911 Census for occurrences of the family name in the area at that time:
