Thank you so much for all your replies. I know that my 4th-great grandfather, Andrew Quigley, lived in County Tyrone at the time of his death in 1847. He was originally from Athlone in County Westmeath, but he moved to County Tyrone after he became a pensioner after his service in the Royal Artillery. His son, James Quigley, was married in the Drumquin Presbyterian Church in 1848. I was hoping to find a gravestone for Andrew and also see if maybe he had any children buried near him that I haven't found other records for.
I have been in contact with the minister at that church, and he said there was a cemetery, but no death records. Does anyone have a researcher to recommend to look through the cemetery for me?
