Magherafelt

I am looking for a birth record and a marriage record of my great-great grandparents, William Montague and Catherine Convery, who both lived in Magherafelt before immigrating to Glasgow.

William Montague, Roman Catholic, Coal Miner, born circa 1839, (buried Dec. 20 1909, St. Peter’s Dalbeth, Glasgow, age 70)

Catherine Convery, (died May 17, 1907 in Glasgow, age 61). Her parents, according to her death record, were James Convery & Ann Morris.  I have seen the name James Covery related to Magherafelt records (father of the groom).

William and Catherine’s first son, Hough or Hugh, was born in Glasgow, circa 1869, so they must have emigrated before that date. They had 5 more children. The last, Edward, was my father’s father. This information I obtained from the Scottish census, 1981, 1891, 1901.  My father, also Edward Montague, came to Canada in 1949 or 1950.

There is a Hugh Montague, died April 18, 1858, age 72, buried in plot #39 at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church Coolcam, Desertmartin, Co. Derry. I thought he might be William’s father since he named his first son Hugh.

I found this grave through www.discovereverafter.com

I tried "Rootsireland" with no sucess. I was told that perhaps someone might volunteer to help me?

Yours truly,
