Hi,
I'm trying to discover more about my Great Grandmother Catherine McGarrity.
On the details for her death in Johnstone, Scotland, in 1949 from Scotlands people it states her father was James McGarrity and her mother was Jane Doran.
I can't find any records of either parent.
On the 1901 and 1911 Irish census records she is Catherine McGrory/McGrorey living with her husband John and children in Camlough, Armagh.
Her birth year is estimated to be 1872 and the census also states that she was born in Tyrone.
I know her husband John McGrory was born in Pettigo, Donegal.
Can anybody help me find any further information please? Or point me in the right direction.
Kind regards
Richard

Births for other children may show more variations in Catherine's maiden name which isn't making it any easier to find their marriage :-\

Thank you
I suppose the name variations are why I haven't found anything with her mother and father then too.
My dad never heard about Francis, but he say's his gran lost several children to early deaths.
I know Hugh died about 15 years old, but not exactly where and when.
