You nailed my family while you were at it. My "later" S-I immigrants (and
I've got plenty or "earlier" ones) who went to Canada during the Famine
years, landing either in 1847 or 1848, were named Caswell and Dickson. There
are a lot of English Caswells, and I assume Dicksons too, but mine are
definitely from Armagh. Does your book mention those names?
