McGrath Family

[heywood]

Looking at the earlier thread -maybe not Mary    It is a puzzle.

Might this be the marriage of Mary (if Molly) McGrath in 1913 to Patrick Sadlier. One of the witnesses was Ellen McGrath. Mary was living at Turraheen, and her father was John, a farmer.

Edited to Add:
This Mary lived to the ripe old age of 93 yrs, dying in 1970 at Glenough.

That looks good KG.

From the other thread there is mention of McGrath and John Taylor with births in Maidstone, Kent.

Free BMD has births - Taylor/McGrath

Marriage in Lambeth 1923 (other thread)
John J H Taylor
Kathleen McGrath


1921 indexes
Maidstone
Molly Taylor 1890 Tipperary
Molly Taylor 1919 Maidstone
With others

Is this the family?

From your other thread:

No but ive spoke to my mother in law to confirm things. She also told me Kathleen who was married to Jack Taylor later married again to a Richard Rofey.kathleen also had a sister called Bridget Mcgrath.

From 1939 registers indexes, there is a Mollie b 1890 living in Maidstone.

Free BMD
Marriage December 1939
Mary /Mollie Taylor and Elijah Roffey

Elijah and Mollie Roffey are living in Islington for several years to 1960s

There is a Kathleen Parker at the same address in 1947.

Death - Molly Roffey 1966, Hackney

There is a death in 1972 - Richard Elijah Roffey, Hackney

If this seems to be your family, then the marriage certificate of Elijah and Mollie should confirm her father’s name to compare to that you have posted here.

The years of birth don’t match though with the two Mollys.

Any more thoughts on this Carole especially re the Taylor/Roffey marriage certificate for Molly’s father?
