Is this possible?- completed

According to my Granny, her dad (b 1857) was from Mulingore, Carland, Dungannon Co Tyrone. Looking in an Atlas it is geographically impossible (I think anyway) Could a native of the region provide some insight for me? Could make research easier.

Hello,

Do you mean Mulnagore ? I'm happy enough with Mulnagore, Carland.
It is mentioned a couple of times in the list of Landowners in Co Tyrone, 1876.

Mulnagore is a 291 acre townland in the Barony of Dungannon Middle, Civil Parish of Pomeroy and Poor Law Union of Dungannon.

I am surprised that you were able to find it in an Atlas. Usually you require a large scale map when you are looking for townlands.

Best Wishes, Christopher

Hello there Christopher,
Thank you, apparently it is plausible. and possible. 
I am not wise to the availability of records in that part of the world, are they as hard to come by as people say here in Australia or have we just been looking in the wrong places?
Apparently great grandfather's parents died c1919 at the age of 92, or close to it.   Influenza outbreak???
It there anyway of locating records to that end.  Sorry I don't know his religion, though he married a presbyterian in 1895.   His wife died 1903 and the girls were 'farmed' out to relatives and not much useful info has lasted the passage of time.
