Mickey:
Your family came from Quignashee townland in Kilmoremoy civil parish around Ballina in Co. Mayo. The townland was in Co. Sligo but was transferred to Mayo probably in 1898. Below is the link to the 1901 and 1911 census records for the family. I could be wrong but it is likely that John and Margaret stayed in Ireland and some of the children emigrated to Pennsylyvania.

Do you have access to Ancestry.com? There is a family tree on the site established by an Erin Patrick which has more information. Based on that tree, the parents of Margaret were Pat Roach and Margaret Ginty.
Let me know if you have questions.
