Hello to everyone
I hope that someone can help me to fill missing pieces about Mcguire who resided in Annagh Co Mayo
I know that Patirick McGuire and Mary McGuire (McGrath) got married before 1865 and they had three kids are Magaret Fahey (nee McGuire) and John McGuire and Pat McGuire but I can’t found much information about Pat McGuire and Mary McGuire (McGrath) like I can’t find names of parents of Pat McGuire or I can’t find names of parents of Mary McGuire (McGrath) and when did they had died??
if anyone can help me to fill missing pieces???

Jason:
The 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Annagh civil parish listed 13 McGuire records including Luke McGuire in Carrickacat townland.
The 1865 civil birth record for Margaret McGuire lists her father Patrick as a labourer. so likely he was not leasing land and was living near Luke. Was Luke his father, uncle, brother?
Annagh RC parish records start in 1851 so if Patrick was from that parish, no baptismal records would be available.
I did not find the marriage record so likely Mary McGrath was from a different RC parish (marriages occurred in the bride's parish).
You mention three children but in searching Roots Ireland there may have been six children: Bridget 1861 Margaret 1865 John 1867 John 1872 Mary 1874 Patrick 1879. The first John must have died young.
