Hello, I am new to this list and to the whole site. I know that I am looking for a needle in a haystack but I am hoping that someone can help direct me where else to look.
I am from Canada and I am looking for my ancestor - William McFadden - who was born in Tyrone, went to Canada with the British army to fight in the War of 1812 and then he settled here (near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). The website has his obituary on the page "born in Tyrone, buried elsewhere" which I pasted below. My mom has been working on ancestry.com for several years and we have been unable to find anyone prior to this ancestor. We know that he also had a brother who came to Canada after the war (and he remained here as well, we have found some of his descendants). So, I am relatively new to researching genealogy, and I'm wondering if anyone on here can provide advice on how to find information on William, and hopefully his parents, in Tyrone. Thanks so much. Josie. Carleton Place Herald 22 Sept 1881 William MCFADDEN 96, a native of County Tyrone, Ireland born Sept 2, 1785. Deceased saw active service in Canada 1812-1814 settling in Ashton in 1818.
