Ross family Look Up, Collooney
« on: Sunday 16 April 17 18:00 BST (UK) »
Getting stuck looking for the christening/parents of a Catherine Josephine Ross, born Collooney, Sligo in 1921; later married John McGrath and died in 1979. Siblings likely to include Theresa; Gerard; John; Ann; Harold and Brendan.

Grateful for any help.

Do you have her date of birth or marriage certificate?

The marriage cert should give her father's name

The date of birth would allow you to order her birth cert as those available to view on line only go to 1916 approx on www.irishgenealogy.ie
On www.familysearch.org you can search up to the 1950s but only for the civil record reference

There are very few people named ROSS around the area
Two died in the last few years with names that match your list of siblings and one is within the last few weeks implying that there are still family members in the area LINK
If they were Catherine's siblings they should be able to help with base information to get you started.
