Hi,

I've traced my ancestor Joseph Dellicot born 1767 in Minderburn, Co Tyrone who moved to Scotland married a Scottish women and enlisted in the Breadalbane Fencibles in 1792.

The varied ways the surname was spelt eg. Dillingcourt, Dalincourt, Delacourt and Delicoat to name a few leads me to think the family may not have been of Irish descent.

I'm wondering if Josephs' family roots are in Ireland or else where. Any ideas on how I can investigate further?

Regards
Adrian
