Thomas (and Catherine) McCarthy from Cork to NYC

Vanessa,

McCarthy is a very popular surname in Cork. RootsIreland (paid subscription) shows 3 Thomas(es) born Cork in 1835. None had a sister Mary identified. There is a free site you can check Irishgenealogy   

Welcome to Irish Genealogy - Irish Genealogy 

Click on Church Records. It includes records from Cork City and west of there. I found six records you might want to check out. That said, unless you have a birth record, I wouldn't feel comfortable that 1835 is the exact year of Thomas' birth.

It would help if you could share more information.

When did Thomas come to America, were Catherine and him married at the time, where in New York did they live, any death records, and was Thomas a citizen?

Their children's date and place of birth, did they get married (to whom/ when/ where), death records?

Mary, did she come to America, when, where did she live, did she get married (to whom/ when/ where), and death records?

 

Regards- Mary
