McCloughan name in the UK & Ireland
My name is Gerald McCloughan. I live in a village called Fintona, near the town of Omagh in County Tyrone. Along with another McCloughan in Sydney, Austraila, I'm trying to trace the ancestry of the name but it is proving quite dificult. If anyone within the UK or the Republic of Ireland knows the origin of the name can they please contact me at [email protected]
However, having read some of the postings here which comes from the USA - I have not completed my research on the name in the UK, but in Ireland the name only appears to exist in Letterkenny, County Donegal, in the Republic of Ireland, and in my home village of Fintona in Northern Ireland. Like others I am not sure if the name has either Irish or Scottish origin, but the name appears to be more uncommon in Scotland than in Ireland.
