Patrick McCabe's origins

[ScrittiPolizei89]

Hello there!
This concerns my great-grandfather, Patrick McCabe, who was born in 1833 in Ireland. He married Sarah Hannah Tucker in 1864 in Ramsgate, Kent. At the time of the 1871 Census, Patrick and Sarah were living in Gravesend (ecclesiastical parish of St Peter/Paul) and they were still residing there in the census ten years later; he passed away in 1883. However, on Ancestry quite a few trees have Patrick as having been born in Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan, yet I see no evidence for that on any of the documentation. Am I missing something?

Following on the information that Patrick McCabe was born Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan in 1833 or thereabouts that may be as far as you will get. Civil registration of births didn't start until 1864 and it looks like possible church records, if he was Catholic, start too late.
Carrickmacross comes under 2 districts in R.C. registers- Maghaire Rois & Magheracloone-
