Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking at church records in Urney to see if you can find any additional information? Perhaps if you can find Alexander and Elizabeth?s birth records it will give you their parents? names which may make it easier to search for possible siblings. Also, if you can find their children's baptismal certs another family member may be listed as a sponsor.
Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42
Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.
Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records online at:

You could also check Griffith?s Valuation for some record of any family that may have remained in the area. This is a property valuation survey that was carried out in Ireland 1848-1864.
