I saw your posting on genealogy.com, and I think I have a connection to you. My wife's mother was named Margaret Mongan and was born in Cloondergan. In fact, I have been to the house she was born in. Her mother was named Mary McGragh and was born around 1882. Mary McGragh's father was named Michael McGragh. The house that my mother-in-law was born in was his Michael's parent's house. I would be willing to bet you that Michael McGragh (my mother-in law's grandfather) and your Mary McGragh were brother and sister. I know for the 1900 census and the 1910 census that Michael's family was the only McGraghs in Cloondergan at that time (even though there were other McGrath families in the surrounding Dunmore area). Also, while the name in later years is often spelled McGrath, the records I have found from the late 1800's spell it as McGragh for that particular family.
