Eileen This is certainly worth checking. I'm on my way out for a bit tonight so will get out my McGrath file in the morning and check on everyone's name and age and will get back to you as soon as I can tomorrow. Donna Donna, My great great grandmother was Abina McGrath of Knockrow (Knockroe) in the parish of Old Ross. I have a good bit of information on her which has come to me through a living 93 year old relative. He advised me that one of Abina's brothers moved to Templenacrow upon marriage but he wasn't sure of this man's first name. The 1901 census shows three people there who would be in the right age group - Thomas (who has a name carried down in our family), a widow Anne and a widow Eliza, either of whom might have been the wife of this brother. It did occur to me that the Michael mentioned below (who died aged 47) not have had children old enough to take over his place when he died, and therefore a cousin took over it instead - this cousin being Abina's brother. There is a Philip McGrath there who was born around the same time as this Michael below. We don't have the name Philip running in our family but William, Michael and Eliza all go through each generation. If my conjecture is true we would be related. I hope to write to my 93 year old relative shortly, Tom McGrath, so I can ask him if he remembers any reference to any McGraths of Templenacrow being in America. But I don't expect a fast reply!
