Abercorn Estate: Intended Emigration from Tullywhisker, Urney Parish
« on: Wednesday 10 October 18 21:02 BST (UK) »
I am researching the Gourley family from Tullywhisker,  I found the following article  part of the Abercorn  Papers

 "A number of people, from eighty to one hundred, in and adjoining the town of Tillywhiskar [Tullywhisker], parish of Urney, county Tyrone, mean to ship themselves from Londonderry, and intend, with the blessing of God, to land in Charleston, in South Carolina; - they therefore take this method of acquainting the gentlemen and merchants in the passenger trade, if they think proper to advertise a ship for the above port, that they may be assured of the aforesaid passengers, provided the vessel be stout and fitted for the voyage. – [From the Londonderry paper]

Abercorn Estate: Rental for the Manor of Strabane 1806   
Andrew Gouley is on the list of landlords in 1806 that may have emigrated
Is there anyway I can find out if Gourley's  emigrated around that time.  Thankyou in advance for any information
