Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in UK

Patrick McEntee born in Monaghan in 1850 was the son of Cormack McEntee. This is confirmed by a marriage license found in Newcastle City Library. Patrick migrated to UK Newcastle upon Tyne after 1881 (he doesnt appear in the census) and before 1884(when he married Catherine Rice). They had several children- James Cormack 1888-1963, Thomas 1889, Joseph P. 1891-1917, Mary Ellen 1892-1976, Catherine 1898 and John 1902-1977. 

We are not 100% positive but we think that his mother was Ann Connolly and Patrick was baptised in Mageracloone Monaghan Ireland 8th April 1850. Other family members confirmed that Patrick did in fact migrate from Monaghan and this is the only baptism that then fits. If this is indeed the case, then Patrick had 2 siblings- Ellen b 1851 and Thomas b 1852.
