  • Mary Anne:

    Below are the links to the 1901 and 1911 census  records for the family in Roevehagh townland. I also located the 1878 civil marriage index record for Michael and Catherine. You can get a copy of the record from the general Register Office for around 4 euros. https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx

    The record will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom were living in 1878.

    Likely Michael's father was named Martin. See the 1856 griffiths.
