You were indeed fortunate to locate your McCullaghs Gordon. To put some perspective into researching these families, I must cite Bodoney Lower parish as rather typical of the problem encountered by researchers.
There are in excess of ninety McCullagh households recorded in c1860 Griffiths Valuation in Bodoney Lower and interestingly, these same families are recorded as McCULLOW in the 1830 tithe applotment book. Now here is the crunch: the Bodoney Lower Catholic registers (baptisms and marriages) commence rather late – in 1865! So, that leave us with the possibility of hundreds of unrecorded events in just one parish – folk could have been born and died and/ or emigrated leaving absolutely no record of the parish of their birth. This is an example of the situation encountered in a single parish with the possibility of something similar in many of the other forty-two parishes in Co. Tyrone. Trusting that the subscribers to CTI https://www.cotyroneireland.com/ find this useful and interesting.

Yes, Len, there are lots of McCulloch/McCullough/McCullagh/... in the area. My McCullagh's come from near Portadown in Armagh. A stone's throw away from Tyrone. I've even found their farm-land, thanks to Mr Griffith.

There are forty-three parishes in Co. Tyrone and without the knowledge of the church and religious denomination there is little prospect of success. There are very few indexed registers for Tyrone churches and they are held at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), Belfast. There are many partial transcriptions of church registers on CTI https://www.cotyroneireland.com/ which you are most welcome to peruse.

Hello Jim, This Cheryl Humphreys I get all of the emails that you send I sent a email before asking about Mary McCulloch born about 1829 or 1830 on county Tyrone but you said there was to many, is there another way that I can try to find her birth or her parents names.
