My guess is that he was from around Braade and she was from south of Dungloe, but only because of the distribution of their surnames in the mid 1800s. They moved to Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland about then, where Patrick died (1822-1873). Margaret and several of her children went to the US. She died in McAlester, Oklahoma (1833-1923).
