At 34 Montiaghs in 1851 Census - Elizabeth McGarry 100 years old, daughter-in-law Ann 32, grandson Felix 10, grandaughter Elizabeth 7; in table 3 Robert, son, died 1843 aged 36, grandson John died 1843 aged 2. 


Firstly it took a while to find but it's McGarrey in 1851 census.

All ages look correct apart from grandson John who was aged 2 months when he died in summer 1843. Son Robert died in autumn 1843. John fits in between Felix and Elizabeth in birth years. Elizabeth McGarrey claimed to be 100 but she may not have been (she probably didn't know when she was born). Young Elizabeth has 7 in years column but also 6 in the months column (don't know why!)... a mistake?

KG,
Apologies, with so many spellings for McGarry I have not been keeping precise records, although I have downloaded all the documentation.
Yes, all the ages hang together except for Elizabeth, had Robert been another 30 years older it would have made a better fit.

Limited coverage? Irish Genealogy records cover ALL of Ireland until 1921  :o
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
