Hi, I am trying to find my Granddads broth Jonnie Mcgrath.  I am told that he had a Carpentry business in Dungarvan.  My grandads name was Maurice Mcgrath and he lived in Old Chaple Lane. I would be very great full for any information on Jonnie so I can finish my family tree

You need to give some dates.
When was he born, who were his parents?
Is this Maurice

Was John older or younger?

There is this man, but he is down as a builder

Wife's name is Flynn.

Little confused in this post you said your grandfather Maurice's parents were James McGrath and Bridget Koen. (Keon)

Thank you very much for your information on the McGrath family.  I am unable to say wheather it is the same family I am after, as Maurice was my grandfather and i have his Death sert and according to that he died 17 Jan 1937, and is buried in the family plot in St Marys Church yard Dungarvan.  I also have the marriage cert of Maurice Mcgrath and Mary Moroney.  They were Married at the Chaple of Touraneena on 25 Jan 1896.  However on both certificates his fathers name was James McGrath, and on his birth cert his mothers name waS Bridget Koen, and father James Mcgrath who is a farmer.  Maurice was born inRingville, Co Waterford and the dwelling place of James is Lyre.

regards
Maggie

Did you discover that was the wrong birth cert? The date fits with the 1911 Census.
1865, Maurice McGrath

I also see you have asked about John McGrath the builder before but didn't get any information at the time.
