Can you help me verify an 1800 ish lineage of a Martin Maher and his wife Mary Whelan of Roscrea area that were parents of
Daniel Maher 1825 died 1879 in Philadelphia. He married his wife in Roscrea area, a Mary Riordan 1826 died in Philadelphia 1897.
Mary's Parents Denis Riordan and Bridget Hunt supposedly from Roscrea area too.
Daniel is my gg grandfather thru their son a g grandfather John J Maher born in Philadelphia 1848, who died there in 1941.
Exactly when Daniel and Mary left Ireland for Phildelphia is unknown. Daniel had a bother too?

At rootsireland, I found the 29 Jan. 1837 marriage of Martin Maher and Mary Whelan in the RC parish of Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. Witnesses: Martin Dwane and Catherine Carroll. Baptisms found for their children follow:
Maher Margaret 1840 Co. Tipperary
Maher Martin 1844 Co. Tipperary
Maher James 1846 Co. TipperaryFamily lived in townland of Barnagree. I did not find a Daniel born to this couple in the 1820s.

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/G9KS-JYH This record may be of interest as the dates match with yours, Daniel Maher married to Mary Reardon, children James and Francis (Frank)
Also this record https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8C7-5ZG which shows Daniel Maher immigration , travelled on the ship 'Roger' 1848, there were a number of Maher's on the passenger list Daniel Maher 22 yrs
Margaret Maher 20 yrs
Jonathon Maher 18 yrs
Thomas Maher 15 yrs
Thomas Maher 13 yrs
Margaret Maher 11 yrs
Mary Ann Maher 9 yrs
Keep in mind these were the famine years in Ireland and if you can connect with this entry , perhaps a family group left together.
