Hello Dave, You don’t state the extent of your personal research in Ireland. it is most unlikely you will find a record of your forebear JOHN TODD in Ireland: he is not recorded in the 1826 Errigal Trough tithe applotment book http://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/errigal_trough.html townland of Fymore Todd (there are two townlands named Fymore in the parish; the other being Fymore Moutray) – only WILLIAM and JAMES TODD are recorded, possibly indicating that John was still living with the family prior to emigration and an opportunity for a better life.– you do not state in your post when John emigrated. Did he marry in Canada or the US? which possibly explains his bride’s Dublin origins. The Errigal Trough RC registers commence 1835 and contain Todd baptisms https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0309 Looking at the Valuation Revision Books on the PRONI, Belfast website https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/search-archives-online/valuation-revision-books I note that Todds were in possession of a small holding in Fymore Todd until at least 1929. A how-to-do video expertly presented by Boyd Gray explaining these records can be found at http://www.cotyroneireland.com/videos/monreagh.html and go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv9Rq4m7L-M Hope this helps, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Volunteer transcriber of records for County Tyrone Ireland http://www.cotyroneireland.com/

I have reached a dead end with John Todd and Margaret Skelly, despite family members having traveled to the remains of their cottage in Fymore. Johns place of birth is listed as Ireland in US census records, and I have some information that Margaret may have been from the Dublin area, but that is unsubstantiated. Any information or links would be greatly appreciated! Dave Todd Glen, NH, US Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10
