Looking for records on parents of Patrick McGrath (b. Abt. 1841 Co Fermanagh).
Married Margaret (or Margret) Parker, Cleenish Parish 29 AUG 1872.
Son - Francis McGrath born Holywell, Co Fermanagh 30 AUG 1874.
Trying to hopefully link this branch of McGraths to the McGraths of Devenish Parish, Irvinestown, Co Fermanagh.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I located the civil marriage record from 1872 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_re…; (fourth record on the page). The record shows the names of the fathers of Patrick and Margaret-- Michael Magrath and John Parker.
Finding a baptismal record for Patrick may be difficult. If he was from Cleenish parish, there is a gap in the records from 1839-1859 according to the online parish register https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0295 Records for the nearby parish of Killesher start in 1855 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0839 The Devonish records start in 1853 according to the parish register on the NLI site https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0839
You may want to consider DNA testing if you have not tested already.
