Hi Group
Wondering if someone may be able to help with my husband's McGrath Family.
James McGrath born 30.10.1861 Dublin (no other information held) son of William Joseph McGrath & Bridget Fitzgerald.
The family came to Australia around 1864/5. Unable to find them so far on immigration lists.
Bridget was born Limerick daughter of John Fitzgerald & Bridget Hayes c1932.
Bridget & William Joseph McGrath were married c1861 Limerick.
William Joseph McGrath was born c1837 Limerick son of James McGrath & Bridget Morgan
The above information has come from Australian certificates of death & birth.
Looking for information relating to the Marriage of Bridget & William Joseph also information as to when they came to Australia & on what ship.
Really appreciate any help
regards
mudgeemaid

Thank you for your very prompt reply to my querie. A major breakthru for me!!!
I just wonder if Bridget ,who according to her death certificate here in Australia was 80 when she died in 1912, making her born c1932 is a sibling of the one's you sent me. Just seems that mother Bridget was having children over a very long period. What do you think?
Look forward to hearing from you & thank you once again for your help - got to love the computer world & the work  volunteer's such as yourself do.
Regards
Bev

Legend!!!!!
I think the first entries you gave me from the Irish Family History foundation look like the ones relating to our McGraths.
I will join the foundation & request the records. Very exciting.
Once again, thank you for your time & effort I really appreciate it.
I can only see one answer to all this research & that is to come over there & do it myself. What a good excuse for a holiday.
Regards
Bev
