Thanks ShaunJ -I had found those records but wasnt sure of spelling/place name.

aghadowey- Thankyou. Others had tried to convince me that he went to Pennsylvania so I thought Id try to eliminate that possibility.Some of his children went there.

Thankyou for your reply & information. Always great that someone knows the area. The McCROSSAN's were Catholic.

I found a website about a book of Strabane Burial records which includes Thomas MCCROSSAN (2) & Also Sarah (but doesnt say other details). I added a query on Co Tyrone forum.

Armed Forces / Thomas McCROSSAN in Napoleonic Wars
« on: Wednesday 21 June 23 03:19 BST (UK)  »
My 3 X great grandfather Thomas McCROSSAN was born c 1791 in (probably) Castlederg,Co Tyrone,Ireland. From newspaper in 1846 Bankruptcy & Insolvency-“Thomas McCROSSAN,Late of Dartans,previously of Kilcroagh & formerly of Cardreen,Co Tyrone & of HIGH STREET,GLASGOW; Pensioner & Weaver”. He was living at High Street,Glasgow in 1841 Scotland census with his 2nd wife Sarah,nee McCRUDDEN & family.
Thomas was in 28th Regiment of Foot & he served in the Napoleonic Wars. He died 4 Sep 1847 (but dont know where)

My question is- as an Army Pensioner , would he have received a little money even if he emigrated to Pennsylvannia,USA? There is a suggestion that he went there but nothing concrete. Are there any other Records available (other than those below) which may help me?

According to -https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10355045
WO 121/212/223 THOMAS MCCROSSAN alias THOMAS MCCROSSIN.Born URNEY, Tyrone.
Served in 28th Foot Regiment; 8th Royal Veteran Battalion; 2nd Royal Veteran Battalion.
Discharged aged 38 after 13 years 9 months of service.
Residence or place where pension paid stated in document.
See film image 461. (This record should be on Findmypast- but cant access it)

Just adding other transcription info below-

From- UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admissions and Discharges, 1715-1925; Name Thos McCrossin; Discharge Age 22; Birth Year   1790; Birth Place Stribaro (should be Strabane) , Tyrone; Discharge Date   19 Jul 1812; Regiment 28th Regiment of Foot; Rank Private. On actual image it says from Skirrow (hard to read birth place), Co Tyrone, occupation WEAVER (so confirming again this is the correct Thomas)

Could someone with a subscription to Rootsireland.ie lookup the baptism of Rose DOHERTY b c 1833 In Co Donegal. When I did a search,there are 6 possible baptisms. Just wondering if they were were of Rose or has mother as Rose (so not actually for Rose). Thanks for any help

Im descended from Samuel MAGUIRE born c 1819. On his 2nd marriage to Rebecca SAWYER ,his father is recorded as Phillip MAGUIRE. But on Bernard’s marriage to Elizabeth HENNESSY ,his father is recorded as Peter. But I believe that Samuel & Bernard were brothers.

You said-“Mary Maguire, estimated birth year unknown, meant to have married a Smith, and had children Charles Francis Smith and Mary Magdalene Smith”-   Mary MAGUIRE b c 1835 Lavey,Co Cavan married 1st Patrick SPAIN in 1856 & 2nd Michael SMITH in 1859 (had 12 known children including Mary Magdalene SMITH & Charles Francis SMITH )
