Sarah McCaughern

HOLD — compatible profile linked — Original 1901/1911 returns prove household continuity, widowhood and Derry birth. The original 1851 Sarah Dysart/John McCaughern marriage supplies locality and generation compatibility; Sarah’s minor status conflicts slightly with an 1829 birth inferred from census age 82, so treat ages as reported and retain Dysart-1893 as probable-compatible rather than matched. No census names husband or maiden surname. If the identity is retained, carry John McCaughern-23 as the same uncertain father hypothesis across the proved siblings; their mother relationship to documentary Sarah is certain.

The original 1901 and 1911 returns establish continuity of Sarah McCaughern’s Gortereghy family. Sarah was a Derry-born widow aged 72/82; Caroline, Sarah J/Sara Jane, James A/Jas Alex, Matilda and grandson George occur in both returns. Elizabeth, 32, is also a daughter in 1901. Sarah Dysart-1893, married in 1851 to Gortereghy farmer John McCaughern, remains the strongest mother identity, but neither census names her deceased husband or maiden surname. 1901 Gortereghy, Sarah McCaughern household 1911 Gortereghy, Sarah McCaughern household Rasharkin Presbyterian civil marriage register 1851

Dysart-1893 — Current public profile compared; Dysart-1893 represents Sarah (Sallie) Dysart, wife of Gortereghy farmer John McCaughern-23 in their Rasharkin marriage of 18 March 1851. Their daughter Mary Anne McCaughern-24, born about 1855, is documented by the 1881 Dysart will. Sarah's birth estimate of 1831 and minority at the 1851 marriage are compatible with the reported age of 82 in 1911, implying about 1829. This is a strong local family candidate for the older widowed McCaughern head. Connections to additional children remain unproved.

== Research Notes ==

The Sarah McCaughern search returns Dysart-1893, the mother-generation woman, rather than Sara Jane born about 1866. Sarah McCaughan-172 was born on 2 May 1886 to Samuel and Matilda Kirkpatrick. McCaughan-181 died on 31 May 1910, before the 1911 household. No compatible child-generation profile was identified. The original 1901/1911 returns establish the household’s continuity. Carry Dysart-1893 as the qualified mother identity and John McCaughern-23 as the corresponding uncertain father hypothesis for proved siblings. George’s particular mother remains unproved.

Possible profile identities: none established within the recorded searches.
