Family of Peter McGrattan and Ann Gordon

[ab196]

 Hi everyone

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help. I have Peter McGrattan and Ann Gordon born about 1825/1830 and married in 1857 in the Ballygalget area. They had six children as far as I can tell.   Peter had three sisters that I am aware of. I don't know who his parents were.
I know nothing at all of Ann's parents or whether she had any siblings.
If anyone can help with any of these details I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
