Birth of Andrew Cousley, July 21, 1877 Ballymughan
« on: Sunday 29 March 20 23:13 BST (UK) »
According to his naturalization application in Ohio, Andrew Cousley states that he was born July 21, 1877 in Ballymughan, Londonderry. His wife is Rebecca from Dromore, Ireland. Further research indicates that Rebecca is nee McCandless. Andrew's parents were Andrew Cousley and Eliza McLury. I cannot find Andrew's birth on irishgenealogy or on Groni. I cannot find his parents' marriage, even though I have used various spellings such as Causley, Cosley, Cansley.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried a search like this? Try following year too in case he was born near end of year and registered early in following year..

On Groni, I looked for Andrew Cousley, Sr's marriage all the way back to 1852 to 1877. I tried just Cousley with no first name and did not find it. On irishgenealogy, I looked for the birth of Andrew Cousley in 1877 and 1878, and Andrew Cousley with no year. Also, tried Cosley, Causley, Cansley with no year. No luck. If he was born Ballymoghan, he should be there somewhere.

Rebecca and Andrew Jr.'s marriage would be in USA. But his birth and his parents' marriage should be in Ireland.

Other than leaving District blank I don't have any suggestions
