Ditto what Dave said. And BEFORE you go to PRONI - meaning today - become familiar with the catalogue and what might be available both on film and physically in their collection. You will be overwhelmed if you don't and leave disappointed.
Have you searched available online burial information for the area? You might find a place name by locating others with the same name. Omagh has never been anywhere else than Tyrone to my knowledge - you can find old maps that call it " Omey." If you do pin down where they lived before you go, plan on spending as much time as you can there. You will find that being there is worth more and a line of breadcrumbs might lead you hither and yon following clues. Be aware that the timeframe you are searching is very difficult, so enjoy the area as much as you can - it is beautiful and the people are wonderful.
