Hello Lynette. Here are some random ideas for you. The 1796 Flax Growers List for County Tyrone -- as transcribed in the failteromhat website at: http://www.failteromhat.com/flax/tyrone.php shows these entries for HENRY: Henry Alexander Donaghenry Tyrone Henry George Derryloran Tyrone Henry Hugh Arboe Tyrone Henry James Aghaloo Tyrone Henry James Arboe Tyrone Henry James Donaghenry Tyrone Henry John Derryloran Tyrone Henry John Tullyniskan Tyrone Herd William Tullyniskan Tyrone Hervy Andrew Derryloran Tyrone Hervy William Derryloran Tyrone I have included the two HERVY names above, because there is a chance that they just MIGHT be transcription errors also for HENRY. This scanned page from the 1824 Pigot's Directory of Ireland, under Cookstown, shows a Mary HENRY as the proprietor of the "King's Arms" Inn http://www.failteromhat.com/pigot/0096.pdf AND from failteromhat's index to the Griffiths Valuations, here are some more HENRYs from Derryloran at: http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/tyrone/derryloran.php Henry Glasgow Killycurragh Derryloran Tyrone Henry Hugh Ardvarnish Derryloran Tyrone Henry James Coagh Street,Town of Cookstown Derryloran Tyrone Henry James Gortalowry Derryloran Tyrone Henry James Killycurragh Derryloran Tyrone Henry James Denis Killycurragh Derryloran Tyrone Henry Patrick Gortalowry Derryloran Tyrone Henry Thomas Killycurragh Derryloran Tyrone Henry Thomas, Jr. Killycurragh Derryloran Tyrone Henry William Killycurragh Derryloran Tyrone Henry William Tullygare Derryloran Tyrone Better still, go to the "askaboutireland" website for griffiths valuation, enter HENRY in the surname field (it has NIL entries for HENERY in co. tyrone); then select TYRONE as the county and hit ENTER. The resulting over 300 hits might give you a range of possible locations in Tyrone to work with. Here is the URL for that site: http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php AND if you go to our own list's County Tyrone website here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cotyroneireland and search for: Saint Luran's Parish Church Derryloran you will find LOTS of HENRY BDMs etc. listed However, on a quick squiz at it, I could not see any David HENRYs shown. I'd suggest also perhaps doing general searches on our website for HENRY or HENERY etc.; but of course that will probably also result in lots of hits for the forename Henry too. good luck: ray also in oz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynette Henery" <lghenery@optusnet.com.au> To: <cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com> >I am researching this family.
