Martin and Mary Maher

TipperaryRoscrea (Tipperary)

Can you help me verify an 1800 ish lineage of a Martin Maher and his wife Mary Whelan of Roscrea area that were parents of 

Daniel Maher 1825 died 1879 in Philadelphia. He married his wife in Roscrea area, a Mary Riordan 1826 died in Philadelphia 1897.

Mary's Parents Denis Riordan and Bridget Hunt supposedly from Roscrea area too.

Daniel is my gg grandfather thru their son a g grandfather John J Maher born in Philadelphia 1848, who died there in 1941. 

Exactly when Daniel and Mary left Ireland for Phildelphia is unknown. Daniel had a bother too?

At rootsireland, I found the 29 Jan. 1837 marriage of Martin Maher and Mary Whelan in the RC parish of Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. Witnesses: Martin Dwane and Catherine Carroll. Baptisms found for their children follow:

Maher Margaret 1840 Co. Tipperary
Maher Martin 1844 Co. Tipperary
Maher James 1846 Co. Tipperary

Family lived in townland of Barnagree. I did not find a Daniel born to this couple in the 1820s.

Keep in mind these were the famine years in Ireland and if you can connect with this entry , perhaps a family group left together.
