Hi Candace First keep in mind that spelling variations are a fact when researching Anywhere in Ireland. Many folks were illiterate, and the person who recorded the records, spelt names as they thought they should be spelt, or often from the way the surname 'sounded'. When I discover my LOVE's & ROBINSON's (married couple) were from Co. Tyrone I had to begin with the process of ellimination. I did finally find them in the parish of Donagheady townlands of castmellan and Gortmellon. Some of my favorite on line web-sites to help with research are our community web-site for the mailing list http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cotyroneireland/index.html This site has the 1796 flax growers, the tithe applotment books and Griffiths Valuation. http://www.failteromhat.com/ To start your search you need to find out which parish has the surnames you seek. As alot of people married within their own parish, this can be important (but it is not always the case) and an example is A search of one of my subscription databases turns up no 'McMILLIAN's in 1796 and only 1 'McMillan', another spelling is McMILLEN in the Parish of Derryloran. however from the above web-site in 1796 we find M'Mullan Charles Dromore M'Mullan Charles Longfield East M'Mullan Daniel Bodoney Upper M'Mullan Hugh Killeeshill M'Mullan James Aghaloo M'Mullan James Dromore M'Mullan James Errigal Keerogue M'Mullen Andrew Clonfeacle M'Mullen Francis Clonfeacle M'Mullen James Aghaloo M'Mullen James Clonfeacle M'Mullen John Clonfeacle M'Mullen William Clonfeacle M'Mullin Elizabeth Ardstraw and we can now compare where the RODGERS were at that time Rodgers George Ardstraw Rodgers Hugh Clonfeacle Rodgers James Ardstraw Rodgers John Clonfeacle Rodgers Thomas Clogherny Rodgers William Ardstraw Rodgers William Clogher and Rogers John Killyman Rogers Patrick Clonoe Rogers Robert Donaghedy Rogers Thomas Donaghenry Rogers William Clogher we have these 2 surnames in the Parishes of Clonfeacle, Ardstraw, Aghaloo , (forgive me if I've missed one) I also found a McMILLAN in the Parish of Donaghmore There is only 1 Leonard John in the Parish of Arboe There are RODGERS buried in Donaghmore, Killyman, Derryloran, Drumragh, Clogher, Cappagh, Donaghenry, and Aghaloo. ROGERS are buried in Donaghmore, Drumragh, Clonoe, Clonfeacle, Killeeshil, Clogher, Killyman and Pomeroy There are 'MILLIGAN's' buried in Clogher, 'McMILLEN & MacMILLIN' in Derryloran, 'McMILLAN' in Donaghmore, Therefore we have narrowed it down somewhat. requesting look-up or searching on-line in the Tithe Applotment books and Griffiths Valuation will also help Although we need a bit more information from you regarding this.
