Thank you.  I do not have ancestry but do any of these sites have the Ireland branch of the family or are they all in Canada?

Thank you for that piece of info.  I do appreciate it.

You mentioned "Several published trees have Thomas Gough and Elizabeth McKenna as parents".  Can you give me the links to these trees? Also would PRONI have any info on the birth or marriage of the parents?

Quote "Several published trees have Thomas Gough and Elizabeth McKenna as parents if your John is the one who died 1875, Quebec".
Can you tell me where you found this?  On going through the mass of papers I have, I came across something I had missed.  John died 30th May 1875 in L'Isle-Verde, Quebec.  I'm sorry I should have said that at the start.  This could certainly be our man.

Monaghan / John McGough Born .c. 1820
« on: Monday 26 July 21 00:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,  shot in the dark here.  I am trying to trace a John McGough who was born in Ireland around 1820 and emigrated to Canada to appear on the census in 1851.  He gave his occupation as a shoemaker.  I have his life in Canada but am drawing a blank in Ireland.  I am entering this post in Monaghan as the name seems to be quite common in the area.

As there is no reply to my query can I assume there is no record of John McGough in Antrim or in the six counties covered by PRONI?  Thank you

Antrim / John McGough, Belfast

I am trying to trace a John McGough who was born approx 1820 in Belfast.  His occupation was a cordonnier or shoemaker. He emigrated to Quebec Canada around 1845 and appears on the 1851 census for Quebec.  It is the Irish connection I am really after as I have most of his life in Canada.  Thanks for reading this and your help.

Offaly (Kings) / Re: Family of Patrick Clancy, Endrim, Moyclare, Kings County

Kieran Kilmartin, or Kierie as he was known, had a big draft horse which he allowed me to handle when I was a child. I remember bringing in the hay on hot summer days and then into the house for a refreshing cup of tea and ham sandwich. Great days.
Is there any way of finding out on line when Patrick Clancy took over the farm in Endrim and who he took it over from? I wonder if it was passed down from a relation or he bought it? There are no Clancys mentioned in Endrim in Griffiths Valuation but he was there in residence in 1901.

Absolutely Sinann, please do. Can you give me the link for the newspaper articles or is that a premium site?
"1974 death of son John, deeply regretted by James and Ellen and brothers and sister, brother in law, sisters in law." (son of James and Ellen, James at least was already passed)
I have no idea who they were referring to with James & Ellen. If they were his parents they were both long gone.
