Yeah; no longer looking in the whole of Ireland for my DeCourcy ancestors as I've found a US Census record where he is listed as born in Northern Ireland.

Now, anyone else looking in Northern Ireland? I could sure use help as this is a brickwall!

He was Patrick DeCourcy (DeCourcey, Decoursey), born somewhere in N Ireland about 1830. Married Catherine Fitzgerald in Columbus, OH in 1854, then the two of them moved to Central Illinois and lived there for the rest of their lives.

I have no information about parents or siblings of either of these parties.
