McGaughey/Hamilton marriage
« on: Monday 27 March 17 21:17 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to help a friend trace the marriage of David McGaughey to Sarah Agnes Hamilton.
They are on the 1901 census living at 32 Sherwood Street (Ormeau, Down) and the 1911 census living at 88 Woodstock Road, Belfast.
In the 1911 census they had been married 29 years and it states that David was born in Ballynahinch.
Can anyone help with this information.
We have tried different spellings of McGaughey without any success.

Thank you.

Thanks to Sam Barry and gaffe, we were able to move this search on.
I found on the Familysearch site information on Henry Mcgahey, father of David McGaughey. The information came up on the Ireland Census search forms 1841 and 1851.
Henry Mcgahey
Census 1841
Townland: Glasdrumman
Parish: Magheradrool
Barony: Kinelarty
Relationship to head of household - Applicant

Household.      Role.           
Henry Mcgahey. Applicant
Wm Mcgahey.     Father

Could anyone help me with any further information on Henry, who he married etc...

A really long shot..but any further information on Wm Mcgahey.

Thank you
