Re.Patrick McGrattan b.1799 Innishargy Co.Down,husband of Helen McKerry(although l have their son Bernard McGrattan age 22 marriage certificate to Maria Morrow age 22 on 9.5.1864, with Patrick's wife's name as Ellen McCary)Ref.NRS marriages 576/01 0014 Old Ardrossan.
I would like to know where evidence and concrete proof came from, of Patrick's coming from Innishargy .This would be a definite place for me to visit for my father John Gilmour's mother "Maggie" (nee McGrattan's) side of my family.Maggie was b. 26.3.1881 at 94,Ardeer Square ,Stevenston and married my grandfather James Gilmour ,30.8.1901at "Our Lady Star of the Sea" ,Saltcoats.They moved to Glengarnock in 1915.
Maggie did run a shop from her front room window ,when they stayed at 72,Long Row ,Glengarnock.She has a nice gravestone in the Kilbirnie "middle" graveyard against the west wall,where her husband James and my brother Michael(no.1) are also buried.
I hope this can be an update and add to the McGrattan family history site.
There is a recently instated grave stone almost immediately inside the main gates of Stevenston New Street, Cemetery, which bears the names of the Morrows and McGrattans going back .
