McGrath

[Heather Cardwell]

My great-great-great grandfather was Roger McGrath. His daughter, Rose Anna McGrath, my great-great grandmother, married a Samuel Sherrard in 1865. They ended up living in Carnmoney, Co. Antrim but my findings so far suggest that Roger may have been from Omagh or Fintona. He also had a son, Hugh McGrath, and another daughter, Margaret McGrath.  Roger would have been born roughly in 1840s. Does anyone have any information from their family trees on this family line, please? Thank you.

Because there were no results under the spelling posted I did this search on

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

where one gets all Samuel's registering Marriages in that year everywhere... then looked for McGrath in the results.

The Irish Government BDM website

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

has 3 stages to it as per attachment

those with Returns Page No don't have Images yet but one can check back every now and then to see if any have been updated even once every 6 months!


If one knows the names from a Marriage e.g.  "about 1870"  just put Name in, Tick Marriage box and use Year Range 1868 to 1872  leaving District  blank if unknown!

As you see...one only needs to enter very little 

The Captcha and Sign in page are all part of process the Irish Government BDM website and do not take anyone to any other website!

So Roger was in his 20's when his daughter Married in 1865??

Doubtful!

Thank you, Hallmark, for your time. I do use Irish Genealogy a lot and that's why I thought that Roger came from Omagh (despite his daughter getting married in Belfast and living in Carnmoney!) I could only find one Roger McGrath in the whole of Ireland who died between 1965 and 1922 so assume it is him. His relatives have names like Catherine, Bridget, Margaret...all these names seem to be continued in my tree down the generations so I think it is likely to be him. Was just wondering if anyone else had researched McGrath in Omagh and had come across Roger and the family and could fill in some blanks.
