McGrath of Newport area
Looking for information on McGrath Family for my family tree: Newport Tipperary Area
McGrath Gravestone inscriptions below from Kilnarath Graveyard ( near Newport Tipperary) The first inscription ofthe 4 listed below from Kinarath Graveyard is my Great Great Grandfather Patrick McGrath. He is 54 at death in 1885 which means he was born about 1830. I do not know if the others graves are family.
Patrick McGrathhad a brother Cornelius McGrath who died 6 years after him on 26 july 1891 (found death date in family will). I located a Cornelius McGrath from Killmaguage Newportparish that has a similar date of death he would have been born in 1821 so this may be the brother of Patrick. Death is reported by house holder William Lenihan same addressKillmaguage.
