Does anyone recognise these names? McGRATH KENNY I am desparately searching their Irish place of birth According to the death certificate of their son Edward McGRATH, born 1814 in Ireland, died 30 Oct 1874 Square of Calder Iron Works, Old Monkland,Lanarkshire, his parents where Thomas McGRATH(Farmer)and Rose(y)KENNY. Edward married Mary RICE (no place or date known) but their first two children where born in Ireland Michael born abt 1851 and Bernard abt 1853. So it is also possible they married in Ireland. Their last known child Edward, was born 1861 Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland Hope these names rings some bells. I have absolutely no idea what part of Ireland they originated. Good luck in your own research Anne
