The Tithe Applotments on the National Library site don't show any Anthony McGraths in Clare but there were 4 McGrath entries for Kilrush--James, John, Connor, and Michael (1826), perhaps relatives of your Anthony. There were four McNamaras there too. Best bet to look for the younger children's baptisms on the Kilrush/St. Senan's records, filmed by the LDS back to 1827.

Anthony McGRATH and Ellen McNAMARA. They lived in Clare. The family belief is that it was Kilrush. They had five children who migrated to Australia in the 1850s and married there. These were: c.1819 Susan (m. William Doherty) c.1820 Patrick (m. Catherine Normoyle) c.1824 John (m. Mary Watson) c.1830 Jane (m. John McNamara) c.1838 Bridget (m. Michael O'Grady) It is believed that there were other children who went to the USA.

Thanks for your help Diane. I had already drawn a blank with the Griffiths and Tithe records and I am sure that I should now take a look at the St. Senan's records. Thanks again, Tony. .........................................................................................................................
