I had a quick browse, and found possible ancestors from a 1766 religious return in Tyrone.

Thanks Pat. And it's free too.....
If you've a lot of spare time..... I've previously posted about the website archive.org.
There are numerous church records/town histories etc on there.
A search for County Tyrone brought up several specific family history books.
An example is -Townland names of County Tyrone with their meanings.
Most of the material is downloadable. Some of the books are complete, and some are just previews.
Some of the books are only viewable if you sign up for the site, and sometimes you have to "borrow" the book to see it.
Always search in the second box. See the attached screenshot.
