I see a nicely aged John McG living with an older couple "boarder" ...
But you have discarded Pat McG in the 1881 census - since James reports being born in the US on his marriage cert?
You don't have James in 1880 or 1900?
I'm wondering if he really was born in Maine?No sign of McGrath's in the US 1880 census ... wait -- you noted on the original of that marriage cert, James says father Patrick born in BANGOR and Mother Betsy, born HOLTON (Houlton) Maine ... ?
cert:

Looking at his enlistment record - residence **Bangor in 1903**; born Sherman Maine, b 1875
