My grandfather was also from Omagh, but I found him in Abbeyleix, Queen’s County, Ireland on the 1901 census. Apparently he worked there for some time (to earn his passage money?). He went from there to Cape Town, South Africa. Within a year he was on the move again - to New York! My grandmother was waiting for him in Philadelphia, where they were married.
OTOH, some of my relatives went straight to NZ and Australia via Liverpool. Just saying, follow the clues you find and be ready for surprises, since everything is not always straightforward!
