Hello
My grandmother's birth certificate (Lifford 1907) has her father as James
WEIR, blacksmith, Lifford, and mother Mary Weir formerly McCall. I have the
death cert of his wife, Mary WEIR, 1955 Birkenhead, Cheshire, England. Widow
of James WEIR, blacksmith journeyman. Mary was born in Crawford, Lks,
Scotland.
I've ascertained that Lifford was in Clonleigh parish, Raphoe townland, and
have scoured the censuses at censusfinder but been unable to find any Weirs.
There is one in the 1857 Griffiths valuation for Raphoe, and I've written to
the web administrator for details.
I'm unable to get any further with James (his birthplace, parents, siblings,
death date or place), and would welcome any advice on where to look next.

As others have mentioned, almost impossible to find help with just that
info.

This is a tough one as you have no starting point. I suggest you go
to the U.S. Censuses as that is where I found my father's parents.

I must agree with David. While some reader may get lucky and find this marriage in an online search, it is easy to do this search oneself ... go to familyseach.org or Google BMD (birth, marriage, death).
David's assertion that McGowan is a common surname is right on the mark.
The original Gaelic form is Mac Gabhann, deriving from gabha, which means "smith".
So, in effect, you're asking for help in locating a John Smith.

Irish Emigrants
--New York Journals to the 24th of July mention,
among other things, that many hundreds of Irish Emigrants had landed at
Eastport, on the Spanish Main [ship], in order to form a Settlement.
Many of them were women and children.

Killorglin R. C. Parish records contain baptism records for
23 Dinahy/Danahy/Denahy/Dianahy/Dannahy families. There is
no one with the first name ÔPhilipÕ or ÔWilliamÕ,
Likewise, there is no record of the marriage of Michael
Danahy/Dinahy & Johannah Donohue/Donoghue nor of the baptism
of any children of theirs.
There is one Dinahy/Danahy/Denahy/Dianahy/Dannahy family in
the Knockane area (the address given is variously as South
Glins, Curramore, Knockane). The father is Michael; the
mother is Gobnet Connor. There are baptism records for 7
children of theirs: Mary (1828), Joanna (1830), Gobnet
(1832), John (1834), Michael (1836), Denis (1839), Cornelius
(1841).
This Michael Dennehy appears in Griffiths Valuation of
Knockane, which since 1884, has been part of Beaufort
parish.

Has anyone researched the O'Mahony family in Dunmanway (West Cork)?
