I'm trying to find out more about my 2x great grandfather Patrick McGee. Patrick was b. 1815 ish and is the father of John McGee b approx 1841. John McGee married Catherine Friel in the Raphoe Parish. The marriage record shows differently in ancestry, family search, and Roots ireland websites. He has been one of my brick walls so I am going back to what we know which isn't much. 

This information is the same in both places (with the exception of the incorrect spelling of Friel). 

 

John McGee, father is Patrick McGee

Catherine Freil (Friel), father is James Freil (Friel)

Date: 9 May 1867

 

no sponsors given

 

John and Catherine named their first son Patrick after his father, then Peter, John, James after Catherine's father and Hugh. James was Catherine's father and of course, John and Catherine lived in Termon where she was we think born and raised. 

 

Family search indicates the marriage place is Taughboyne, Strabane, County Tyrone

 

Roots Ireland identifies Raphoe as the parish and their address as Cloughfin.

 

Thank you,

Teresa Maughan Emory
