Hello Irene:
For the surname McGarrity (+variants) there are 11,620 B rcds dating from 1734, and 5,031 M rcds dating from 1731. The greatest concentration appears to be in counties Galway, Mayo, Fermanagh, Roscommon, and Leitrim.
For Pat(rick) McGarrity B ????, somewhere in Ireland, with the father's forename unknown, I found 910 rcds. B in 1841 +/- 1 yr, I found 26 rcds: 2-1841 Offaly, 1841 Meath, 1841 Mayo, 2-1841 Galway, 1841 Sligo, 1841 Meath, 1841 Tyrone, 1842 Cavan, 3-1842 Galway, 1842 Kildare, 1842 Longford, 1842 Mayo, 1842 Westmeath, 2-1842 Tyrone, 2-1840 Meath, 1840 Mayo, 1840 Kildare, 1840 Roscommon, and 2-1840Tyrone.
For Bri(dget) Reilly B 1840 (exact), ditto, I found 41 rcds - too many to easily summarize here.
For the above, you will need more exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any are the right ones.
If you knew they married in Ireland, this would be an easier and more conclusive event to find. Finding the marriage rcd USUALLY will identify their parents.
For Marg(aret) Edwards B 1872/1873, somewhere in Ireland, with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds. Edwards is an Angle/Saxon surname and fairly rare in Ireland. My lack of results points to a B in America.
For Johanna Sullivan B 1852 (exact) ditto, with a father forenamed Denis, I found 0 rcds in one database and 1 rcd in another for Co. Kerry. Details follow:
Baptism of JOHANNA SULLIVAN of BALLYBUNION on 19 September 1852 Parish/Church/Congregation - BALLYBUNION Area - KERRY (RC)
Name JOHANNA SULLIVAN
Address BALLYBUNION
Father DENIS SULLIVAN
Mother NR ILLEGIBLE
Further details in the record
Date of Birth 19 September 1852 (BASED ON OTHER DATE INFORMATION)
Sponsor 1 JAMES WALSH
Sponsor 2 ELLEN CALLAGHAN
Hope this helps. Good luck.
