Aghadowey, many thanks for that - I did catch on yesterday. I've been searching most of last night and managed to get 8 births, can't seem to get the other three. I have John, Terence, Bridget, Margaret, Charles, Sarah Anne, James Joseph and William. When I locate the remaining births I can start working on the deaths.

In cases like this I use GRONI's database to find possible children with father's surname & mother's maiden name (sometimes need to search with variants or first 3 letters) and then go to Irish Genealogy searching under that spelling of surname for that years plus or minus one year.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks for the tip.
Earlier, you mentioned a McGrade living in the same downland who were possibly related.
Can you elaborate on this, with links if possible

I browsed the townland for your McQuaids and when I sorted the inhabitants alphabetically by surname I saw the McGrades- you can easily find them using surname and townland in both 1901 and 1911.

I don't get it - how are the McQuades and McGrades related?

I've seem McQuade and McGrade used for same family before so possibly related. Since both wives were McGuire/Maguire then perhaps they are connected (although such a common surname in that area can't jump to any conclusions there).

Another interesting observation I found that the family were recorded as McQuade in baptism etc but later reverted to McQuaid.
