I am looking for information on my Maternal grandfather's family.  I know he was born in 1887 in county tyrone and his parents are William Little and Rebecca Jane Brush.  I don't know Williams birthdate.  I do know his father's name was John.  We are visiting in August and would like to visit the homestead, but I don't know where the farm is.  I do know that my relatives are buried at St Matthew COI in Balleynasaggart.  Any help someone can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Gort is a 287 acre townland to the northwest of Ballygawley just south of the A5 (Omagh road).
