Many thanks Len and Jim for your interest.
I have her birth using Findmypast which has Catholic baptisms – original images. Mary Ann, daughter of Michael McQuade and Elizabeth Crossey was baptised 22 August 1824, with witnesses Jacobus (James) McQuade and Alice McQuade, in the parish of Dungannon,. Clontyclea. Michael and Elizabeth (Isabella) were married in February 1820 at Clonfeacle. No details of their parents ☹ They also had a daughter, Sarah, baptised on 17 October 1821. A couple of other possibilities, but haven’t been able to find anything with certainty – yet! I have certainly found a variety of spelllings. One of Mary Ann’s sons, John Clark, registered her death in Scotland with the maiden name of McHaig – took me a long time to learn it was McQuade (confirmed by DNA). Great fun!

Many family names in Ireland were recorded as they were heard and spelt phonetically. During my years of researching and transcribing I have found McQuade spelt variously: McQaid, McQuead, McWade, McWaid and possibly more.

I scrolled through in the fond hope of finding a McQuade ancestor. I didn’t really expect to as I knew fromRC baptisms that Mary Ann McQuade, from Clontyclay, Clonfeacle, was baptised in 1822. But she married John Clark in Monifieth, Scotland, and the Clarks were staunch Presbyterians. It must have been difficult for her to raise her children outside her faith. Even into the 20th century these Clarks were scathing of Roman Catholics.

All families of a parish historically had burial rights in the parish graveyard which was in most cases, attached to the parish church (Church of Ireland); it was not until the 1860s-80s that Catholics and Presbyterians gained their own graveyards. Generally, the C of I burial register did not include the deaths and burials of Catholic and Presbyterian families.
