Ron, Unfortunately the time frame for which you are researching is somewhat of a blank spot. Registrations for births, deaths, and marriages were not required until 1864/65 and anything happening prior to this are church records to my knowledge. There were many records lost through time which may have been able to provide you with the information you require. The only lead which I can offer you is to research your great grandfather's brother's line of your family by starting with this record and seeing where it leads you. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGXN-42Y Clogher was the neighboring parish and I believe this to be your best option at this time.

My G Grandfather Robert Scott emigrated to Australia arriving in 1856. Copies of shipping records show that he came from County Tyrone - Errigal Keerogue.

Mike, Thanks for the lead. It is interesting as the spelling of Stewart is as was for my grandfather, father, myself and also to my first born son. The shipping records had STUART which could have just been a spelling error as they were handwritten entries. Thanks again.

Hello again Ron, You will likely find the spelling both ways. There were no rules of spelling back then. People merely spelled surnames as they sounded or had seen them spelled before. Stuart is the French spelling of your Scotch surname Stewart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_(name) Seeing how Ireland was a melting pot for Normans, Scotts, and others It does make much sense there would be multiple correct ways to spell the same thing. You will possibly find incorrect ways as well. Such as the dialects from Maine to Florida change drastically or even in the same state. An example is in Pittsburgh, PA people say "yins" for "you all" and there are parts of the state which say "warsh" instead of "wash" and these are just two examples. On another note, my Tyrone ancestors were McKay and spelled as McCoy in most records in Northern Ireland. I was told McCoy is how they would pronounce McKay there. Occasionally there was McCay and very rarely McKay or McKee used, but mostly McCoy. Another example would be my Hough family from Galway. This surname would be pronounced "Huff" in England and Northern Ireland, but in Galway it was pronounce as "How" and was also spelled Haugh and Howe. Once my family was in Philadelphia they used the English spelling standards of their names. McKay was used as well as Howe and the other forms were not mentioned on any records at all. I had to figure this all out on my own doing research and asking others. It is such which makes genealogy all the more interesting. I sure wish you success in your search for your family in Tyrone.
