I will regret starting this search i suspect

I have decided to start looking for my Gx5 Grandfather Thomas McEwan. The only solid evidence i have is from Gx4 Grandfather DC (1857) in Greenock which indicated that his father was Thomas McEwan ('Farmer by profession') and mother was Bridget Semple. They were RC. Nothing obvious has pinged when i have started the search and the only Trees (two i have come across) and they are four generation linked to me and haven't managed to break through the barrier.

Any tips on starting would be good - suspect it will be a long one as suspect Thomas was born in 1760-1780 Ireland :-D
