My great grandfather Thomas McCormack was born in Randalstown, Antrim County, Ireland November 7, 1867. He was the son of Thomas McCormack and Margaret McClarnon. [1]
I have found records and been guided to other siblings of his as: Arthur born 1861, William John born 1864, and James born 1870. I did locate my great grandfather on the Census of Ireland, 1901 as a bachelor living on a farm. I have yet to find further information about his parents or siblings.
Thomas met my great grandmother Rose Kennedy from Scotland and the census says they were married in 1903. I have had response on 2 message boards that have led me to a possible marriage for them in the year 1902 in Scotland. I have not yet to locate the record.
Marriage of Thomas and Rose Note Thomas birth and Marriage register are McCormick not McCormack [2]
