This is a picture of my 2nd great-grandmother Catherine McGrath at her 99th birthday party. She was born in Dungarvan, Waterford on 9 Mar 1824 and emmigrated to the USA in1841 with her mother Anastasia (Scocfield). They sailed on the ship Cambridge. As per obit, she lived in Chicago, Illinois until her death in 1924. By 1850 she was married to Patrick Powers (Power), also from Waterford. They had six children. ** Recently, I have located Catherine's siblings: William b 1831, immigrated to the U.S. in 1851, Margaret b 1832 (she was baptized at St. Mary's Church), Joanna b 1834, Cornelius b 1854 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1854, Richard b 1848 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1870, And Daniel b 1827 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1855. I don't see any evidence that her father, Richard McGrath b 1798 in Waterford, came to the U.S. I would like to find more information about Richard.
