My great-grandfather Neil McAlister (McAllister) was born on April 24, 1859 somewhere on the Isle of Man; I believe he was RC. I'm trying to find out who his parents were. Apparently he had 18 brothers and sisters(one sister was Curry and brother James). Those three moved to the U.S. around 1878.

Mr. Lawson already checked the 1861 census and stated that Neil was not in them.
