Hello - I am a novice researcher working on a few family names that are making me crazy because of dead ends.

I am looking for any information on William McIlroy born Oct 15, 1801 in Maghera, Londonderry, NI. He eventually emigrated to America but I believe he married his first wife in Ireland. Her first name was Margaret but I have no last name for her. He died in Pennsylvania May 26, 1887.

What is the best way to try and obtain information on him and his family other than travelling to NI? Thanks.
