James McFadden born Golen Donegal

[A bairn]

James McFadden (McFadyen) born approx 1864 in Golen was my greatgrandfather. At some time he moved to Scotland and married and settled in Falkirk, Stirlingshire until his death in 1944.
In 1887 he married Susan Clarke who may also have come from Ireland.
His parents were Edward McFadden and Margery (possibly Gettigan).
I can track his life in Scotland easily but Ireland is more difficult.
Does anybody have any info on the Golen side ?

Children of Edward McFadden & Margery McGettigan from extracted births www.familysearch.org:
1. Ellen born 24 Nov.1864 Kilmacrenan
2. Henry born 17 Apr.1867 Kilmacrenan
3. Edward born 9 Jan.1869 Kilmacrenan (page 290 in civil register)
4. Catherine born 26 Feb.1872 Kilmacrenan (page 306 in civil register)

Registration of births started 1864 in Ireland so it's possible that James was born just before 1864.
