James and Mary McGrath

[Karvan]

I'm looking for the marriage of James McGrath and Mary Ann Farmer.  Their eldest child Frances was born in 1924 so I presume the marriage would be early 1920s.  I've looked on various sites and can't find them!  Any help would be appreciated.

I believe that James had a brother Patrick and sister twins Cassandra and Susan!

Marriage not online but you can vie in on GRONI's site after registration & purchasing credits.

Thank you. I have found the details on the GRONI.  I'll now look for them on the census!

I've tried the census without any luck.  Their ages aren't shown on the marriage certificate and I can't find the families!  I searched for Frances MacGrath and Hugh Farmer - the fathers of the couple.  It does say that Frances is deceased.

Frances is a girl's name. Maybe search for Francis McGrath/MacGrath.

Where were the bride and groom living on their marriage record?
Who were the witnesses to the marriage?
What's the name of the church or registrar's office?

Thank you - my mistake on the spelling!
James was living in Drumconlan 
Mary Anne living in Dorragangh  - again not sure of the spelling

They were married at St Mary's Arney

The witnesses were Francis McTaggart or Leggart and Kathleen Farmer

This may be James in the 1911 census in Drumconlan West.

The census for Mary Ann is exciting - it lists Carrie and Susan and a brother Patrick.  I assumed they were McGraths and not Farmers!  Great.  I mentioned those names on my post yesterday.  So Mary married another McGrath!?
Thank you
