Unfortunately, I do not have the marriage date of Henry GOGARTY m. Margaret OLIVER. However, Elizabeth GOGARTY, one of their children, was born in 1834.  She married James BURKE; and they immigrated to the USA.

One of their earliest recorded children is William BURKE, b. 1859.  Another child, Marie BURKE, b. 1Aug1867, Ithaca, New York, m. Alexander Duncan McNIGHT, of Illinois, d. 27Dec1972, Benicia, California. He is found in the 1900 census of Seattle, King County, Washington:

MCKNIGHT  ALEXANDER 27 M W WA WA KING 206-WD; SEATTLE 1920

I met Marie BURKE. She was almost 100 years old at the time! I remember her as a very happy, and gentle, woman, being cared for by Leah Adelaide MacKNIGHT m. Alfred Roe? JOHNSON.  Adelaide is one of her daughters.

I have been told that some of that OLIVER family resided in San Francisco, California.

A son of Henry GOGARTY m. Margaret OLIVER, Oliver Joseph St. John Gogarty, b. 17Aug1878,  Rutland Square, Dublin, Ireland, m. c.1906, Dublin, Ireland, Martha Duane, d. 22Sep1957, New York, N.Y., buried, Ballinakill Graveyard, Ballinakill, Ireland.
