Hi All,
Looking for information on Samuel BIRD, b abt 1775 at Ardeelan Lower, married Letitia KING 2 Jun 1803. 
Samuel was the son of Robert BIRD and Anne THOMPSON.  He had 3 brothers, James, Robert and John and 2 sisters, Elizabeth and Anne. 
Samuel, Letitia and their small family left for New Brunswick, Canada abt 1824.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I assume you are already aware of http://www.genquest.ca/bird/ardeelan_donegal.html

If RC, the only parish records available online seem to be from 1866 to 1881, so well after the period you seem to be seeking info on:
