They had six children between 1865 and 1876 and I can find no trace of them after birth.
Anyone any ideas please?
Thank you, this ties in with my tree - these Hughes' are my wife's great grandparents!
Daughter Teresa Hughes (born 15 January 1865 at Sheridan) married Thomas Hughes on 20 February 1887 at Whitehill RC Church. One of the witnesses was probably her sister Minnie (Mary) Hughes.

found a probable marriage 11th February 1861 Kilskeery RC Tyrone, groom's surname transcribed as Aughes, image look like Hughes to me. Since it's an early RC marriage there's not much detail, just date, bride and groom and witnesses. Given the date I think there could be further children ..
No sign of any Hughes or McGee present at Sheridan on the 1901 census
There was a lot of migration at that time. They could have gone to England, Scotland or USA & Canada. Did you find Michael & Sarah on the census records?
