Thanks, Andrew.
I don't have any links with your information at this point, but thought it interesting that 'your' James may have had a brother who emigrated to the US.Family oral tradition in my family is that a group of brothers emigrated to the US (Philadelphia), and that the other brothers remained in the US, while 'my' James came north to Ontario.
In Tyrone, the McSorleys appear to be concentrated around Trillick (parish of Kilskeery), and there are also early records of McSorleys in the Castlederg, Bodoney, Derrylea, Curr, Clogherny, Clogherny Glebe Upper, Roscavey, and Beragh areas (as per Griffiths 1848 valuation).These areas, as you might appreciate, are concentrated around Strabane and Omagh.
Hope this helps.
