Thank you aghadowey ... I did enquire about the death certificates but there was no way to confirm the details before purchasing so frustratingly, not really any further forward.

That's not all that was suggested earlier-

Both Patrick and Alice were born well before the start of Civil registration, so you will need to check for church records. You would need to know the family religon(s) and which parish(es) they lived in to search for available parish records..

Have you checked any online parish registers yet?

If you don't know where in Monaghan they lived then you can do what the rest of us do- check each parish one by one- but suggest you start in locations where a Sylvester McCabe appears in Griffith's Valuation. Be sure to keep a note of parishes whose records do not cover the period you need and also make a note of where you have checked since it's easy to lose track of what's already been done.

Thank you again - I have tried the online indexes on both Ancestry and Find My Past, but no luck yet ... will keep trying!

With this, I've also checked the TNA discovery for this Patrick McCabe's attestation papers but they don't seem to be there?  Any ideas why?

This is what you need to start searching-
Irish Catholic Parish Registers online (free)- http://registers.nli.ie/

Other advice also given previously so please read through the threads again.
