Alexander/John McGrath
« on: Sunday 18 November 07 21:19 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone please help me connect the McGraths of Gloucestershire with County Cork (or anywhere else)?
 
This is what I have so far:
 
22 June 1835 Alexander McGrath, widower, married Louisa Darke at St Nicholas, Gloucester
 
11 August 1835 John McGrath of County Cork, Ireland on the Gloucester gaol register for alledged theft in Cheltenham. Discharged 18 August.
 
27 July 1837 birth cert of Maria Dark McGrath daughter of Johna and Louisa at Stroud, Gloucestershire
 
1841 census  Louisa, Elizabeth (age 5) and Maria (age 3) Stroud. No sign of John or Alexander.
 
June 1842 (Free BMD) marriage Louisa McGroff and William Elston.
 
There is no sign of a John or Alexander Mcgrath in the registers of deaths for the Stroud area between July 1837 and June 1841.
 
I would love to know if the John McGrath in gaol in 1835 was the husband of Louisa and father of Maria and, therefore, the same as Alexander, and what happened to him after 1837.
 
Any help appreciated. Thanks
 
Trevor
