Is this the Death you are referring to in Omagh?

Married, registered by his daughter Bridgid Nugent.

Have you looked for a Marriage for her??

Yes, this is the death. The only one I can find for a Roger McGrath! Bridget's husband is Bernard Nugent. I have found a wife for Roger! Margaret  - who died in Garvallagh in 1890. Bridget Nugent was present at her death too but says Bridget is her daughter IN LAW. Could not be possible as the daughter in law would have to have the same surname as the mother in law so must be an error. Really trying to track Roseanna, though, to make sure that I have the correct father...that this is the Roger who is her father. One problem, the McGraths/Nugents in Omagh are Roman Catholics yet Roseanna was married in a Presbyterian Church! Thank you for the variation in spelling for 'McGrath', I shall now research using different spelling.
