Does anyone know anything about or have connections to the Pursleys of Fermanagh or nearby areas. It looks like my great grandfather or his father were from Northern Ireland and eventually settled in the Glasgow area of Scotland -1840's. Would appreciate any thoughts/info/help that you can give. Below is what I have on my great granfather William and his father James. My grandfather with his 4 sibblings and widowed mother came to the US via Canada sometime in the 1880's.
