Can anybody help me set off in the right direction with regards to tracing my Irish Family.

Owen Grimley, born c1851, son of John.

The family had trouble with the British Landlords over non-payment of rent, someone was killed and now being wanted men the family or part of the family had to flee the country. They changed their name to Grimley and moved to Scotland/England. The name before they changed it was O'Gorman or O'Gormley. I don't know what year all this happened, but it was before 1879 as Owen was married in Durham then.

Maybe someone out there knows of this story or a similar one and can help me. I don't know what name to start my research under Grimley or O'Gorman/ley.

I'd appreciate any help no matter how small.
