Now I have traced my Scotch-Irish ancestors to Ireland from Scotland. The mother of my immigrant great grandfather, was born in Ireland, a McFadyen, and I understand that it is likely they lived in County Donegal. Her husband, my gg grandfather, Thomas Muir (Muar?) died sometime between 1857 (birth of their second son in Ireland) and the time of the wedding of their oldest son, Thomas, in 1872, in Glasgow, Scotland. Thus, my search is twofold. I am familiar with the Land Reform era, but am seeking further insight as to what may have been associated with the death of Thomas in Ireland, prompting an Irish-born mother to move to Scotland in that time period. Also, what are the possibilities of finding a death record for Thomas in that time period? Thanks. Gene
