MY NAME IS ELIZABETH SUTTON FROM VICTORIA AUSTRALIA.
I AM RESEARCHING MY FAMILY TREE.
EDWARD MCGRATH MARRIED ELLEN O'BRIEN.
THEIR DAUGHTERS GAVE THEIR ADRESS AS NENAGH.
THEY WERE BORN ABOUT THE MID 1840'S.
THEIR MAY HAVE BEEN A BROTHER JOHN AS HE WAS LISTED ON THE SAME SHIP.
EDWARD WAS A SOLICITORS CLERK AND I NOTICE THERE ARE MCGRATH SOLICITORS IN NENAGH SO THERE MAY BE A CONNECTION.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
YOURS TRULY,
LIZ SUTTON/LORENSINI/MCGRATH

Dear Liz
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.
As you can see from the link below, Nenagh is a Civil Parish in Co Tipperary:
The records for the Roman Catholic Parish of Nenagh begin in 1792, with some gaps notably between 1809 and 1830 for baptisms and 1794 and 1818 for marriages.
There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:
www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.
www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.
Some other websites that may be helpful are:
The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/ - you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too
The National Library of Ireland: http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx
The National Archives UK ? genealogy search:http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/
The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland: http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/family_history.htm
Irish Times: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/index.htm

You could also have a look at Slater Directory. The Directory is organised by Province and town and lists the office holders, gentry, professionals and others for each town in Ireland:
