Looking for Thomas Ormsby from Cork or Meath mid 1800s

WestmeathBallymore (Westmeath)

Below is the data I have so far. I am trying to find family info for Thomas Ormsby Born in 1803 in Ireland. Family tradition has it he was born in either Co. Cork or Westmeath.  Also I am not positive for the surname spellings for Hayes or Smith. Thomas Ormsby moved from Ireland to Elwood Indiana, USA around 1856 and is burried in Elwood IN.

Thanks:

Hi... I am stuck on who our Ormsby parents were...  Joseph was born around 1805.. Was married in Castlebar in 1828...  Have you any male Ormsby's that have submitted their DNA in ?  Our test was done thru 23andme...  It would be neat to see if we match...
