Re: JAMES MCGARRY BORN AROUND 1819
I haven't much to tell you, except that you might be on the right track. My great-grandmother, Mary Ellen (Nellie) Cox was born and raised in Carrick-on-Shannon. Her maternal grandmother was Brigid McGarry, who married Michael McGushin and had at least two children. Simply by calculating the generations, I've determined that she was likely born about 1820-1830. She may be a cousin to James McGarry or otherwise related. I have yet to begin research on the McGushins and the McGarrys, beyond family history passed down through my grandmother and great aunts. Maybe I'll be able to help you more eventually!

My great grandfather was James McGarry of Croghan, Co. Rosscommon. He was born in 1811 and died in 1879. He is buried in the churchyard of the Church of Ireland in Croghan. There might be a connection. I would gladly share any information I have.<br>
