In the NY Herald from 16 May 1911 on www.fultonhistory.com, there is a death notice for Hamilton Thomas Magrath, fourth son of the late George Ponder Magrath of the city of Dublin. 

[*Sandra*]

Good find - the death notice Shelly found for you confirms Hamilton Magrath belonged to your George Ponder Magrath.

George Magrath was naturalized 8 October 1875 - 577 2 avenue NY City.
Witness was William B Magrath - 302 E 28th Street  NY City.

Possible for George on the 1880 census - 2 nd Avenue New York City, New York.

George Magrath   35 Born Ireland. Dry Goods Clerk.
Kate Magrath   35 Born  Ireland.
George Magrath   9 Born NY,
Kate Magrath   7 Born NY.
Frank Magrath   6 Born NY.

There was a death of a Frank Magrath in 1897 - aged 23 years - Certificate Number 19749

This could be a possible birth of son George Magrath - 22 May 1871 - Manhattan - parents George McG and Catherine Margaret Bird  ??

Hmmm could Catherine Margaret Bird be Catherine Margaret Burke

Hamilton Thomas - didn't have the middle name or a sure link. Great stuff.
There is a Geo McCausland Magrath m Kate Burke - a good suspect, but can't find  why he should be related to Geo Ponder M. and the other children.
Fantastic new info though. Thank you so much.

Could this be the same George and Catherine Magrath West 116 Street Manhattan, New York.
