Hi Kirsty. I too have been searching McAleer. I have not as yet found evidence of their place in Tyrone, but I have recently found on My Heritage a family tree with part of my ancestor line in Coneyglen, Lower Bodoney. I am waiting to hear what proof they have for this information. My search is for Patrick McAleer, married to Ann McElhone who emigrated to Canada in 1826 with three children, so my search is much earlier with fewer records available. Sorry I can't help out because I know how frustrating it can be.

My g-g-grandfather came to Australia in the mid 1800's. His death certificate indicates that he was born in Omagh, County Tyrone but no details of his parents are listed. He named his first son Thomas and was a Roman Catholic. Are there any others searching for information on these families? I know there weren't many compared to other Irish surnames and they seemed to live in the same area at the time. I have exhausted most Australian avenues so am now looking for overseas connections, if there are any. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, this is a wonderful resource! Thanks so much!
