My ancestors, Patrick Meagher and wife Mary came to Baltimore, Maryland about 1815. Patrick also came again with a five year old child J Meagher in 1820. They had a daughter Margaret and son John with them born in Ireland and then had Joseph in Baltimore in 1813. I believe the J Meagher was the John Meagher. From looking at hundreds of parish records I believe Mary Corbett married Patrick in 1810, then they had John in 1811 and then Margaret in 1815. They also had a son Thomas. Is anyone familiar with a Meagher family who married a Mary Corbett in 1810, started a family and then went to Baltimore, Maryland about 1815.

Hi Lindaj,
While the surnames Meagher/Maher and Corbett are to be found in Ballingarry Slieveardagh do you know that they came from there? Unfortunately the parish register for Ballingarry only begins in 1814 so it would be impossible to trace any marriage or baptism records before then. You said you found the marriage of Patrick Meagher and Mary Corbett in 1810 - do you remember which parish that was?
If anything further comes to light please come back to me and I will do my best to assist.
Best wishes,
Noreen
