Notes: 

John (grandson) - Ardcath Register of Interments records his occupation was a farmer.
Mary - Ardcath Register of Interments records she was a spinster.
Kate - Ardcath Register of Interments records her occupation as a farmer and that she was married.
Patrick - Ardcath Register of Interments records he was a farmer.

The other two headstones nearby are spelled McGrath and one would assume as this is the primary headstone that Magrath is the correct spelling. (Grandchildren, John, Nicholas, Peter, James, Annie & Mary are all the same sibling family originally from the farmhouse in Balgeeth)

Magrath's married in to Nolan's around 1908 (Coachbuilders) To be confirmed and further research.
