Brief summary
MCGRATH, MICHAEL: was born in Ireland in 1798. He married Bridget Murphy, who was born in Ireland also. It is unknown if they were married in Ireland or here in New Brunswick. Their first child was baptised at St. Patrick’s RC, Nelson in May 1824, so it is likely that they were married in Nelson Parish, NB.<br /> <br /> Michael died in August 1846 in Chatham and is buried in St. Michael’s RC Cemetery, Chatham. It is unknown when Bridget died, she was listed as a widow, age 49, in the 1851 Northumberland County Census, and there is no listing for a Bridget McGrath in the 1861 Census. Did she remarry? Her youngest child in 1851 would only have been 9 years old. All their children were baptised at St. Patrick’s RC Church Nelson.<br />
