Found this record but you might find more McGraths by searching PRONI website www.proni.gov.uk
"McGrath Thomas of Lisnagade county Down farmer died 23 February 1937 Administration Belfast 16 July to Bernard McGrath farmer. Effects £258."
Griffith's Valuation (the AskAboutIreland version) lists 4 McGrath occupiers in the townland of Lisnagade, Aghaderg Parish, Co. Down: Thomas, James, Hugh, and Peter.I have some information on one family of mc grath. thomas my great grandfather was born in 1826 he is related to another family in lisnagade, He was married to a mary mcanarney. I do know he had brothers, my family came down from thomas , dont know who his brothers or sisters were .
The 1911 census indicates our GGM was born Elizabeth McGrath in Lisnagade in 1833. It seems probable she was related somehow to one or more of these McGrath families. We haven't found a birth cert yet, though, so are unsure which (if any).
(Elizabeth married Peter O'Kane around 1855, and is listed as Elizabeth O'Kane, living in Antrim, in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.)
Any information on the McGrath's of Lisnagade would be appreciated.
