Steve,
thank you for looking that is very good of you.
Yes it is very difficult. The IFHF site is great but isn't totally accurate or complete. Of course the huge gap is the lack of 100 years of census between 1801 and 1891 because of the 'wars' and the accidents destroying them. Oh well.
I have found Michael McGrath listed as a land owner in Mitchelstown in the Cork City Directory of 1875-1876 which confirms him as a farmer.
