I have a Catherine McGinnis, spelled that way in US and Ireland, b 1834 and died 1914. She Married Michael Reynolds in the townland of Drumboy, the RC church and parish in Mohill, civil parish also Mohill in the county of Leitrim. They came to US C1863 with children and lived in CT and RI. Her parents were Phillip and Margaret McGinnis. I get the feeling that in their days when few were literate, the names spelling varied according to the person that scribed the record. Hope this helps.
