Tyrone / Re: Hegarty, Hagerty,Higerty, McCrum Family Tyrone

The Ann Wylie may be a relative of my grandfather James Wylie. The family lived at the Square Moy, Tyrone (a short distance from Coalisland), he had a sisters named Ann and Sarah, their parents were Joseph and Lizzy (Elisabeth) Wylie. It may be that  the Ann you mention is a sister of Joseph but its hard to disentangle as by the mid 1800s there were around 8 Wylie families living in that area.

They would also have been Church of Ireland.

Ireland / Re: Dilworth family name
« on: Monday 20 June 22 13:48 BST (UK)  »
My great grandmother was a Dilworth from Killyman Tyrone. Unfortunately she died in childbirth and her only daughter Elizabeth Graham was born in the early 1900s and brought up by her Grandfather (I believe James Dilworth) in Killyman, Tyrone Ireland.

Killyman is just outside Coalisland county Tyrone but Elizaabeth and her family are strongly associated with the Moy county Tyrone, again just a short distance from Killyman.

The family would have considered themselves Ulster Scots, as throughout the 1800s and early 1900s many of the residents would have originated in Scotland.

There are still a number of Dilworths living around Killyman today.
