It could be Mike, again McCormick has never come up in the family history so far but who knows. This one question has already thrown up more possible generations than I knew about, which is great.

Mike - Margaret Garvey (who it seems married james Carter and William Leah) was the daughter of William Garvey and Elizabeth (unknown)

I have no further details of this couple other than the fact their first known child John Garvey was born c1873 Liverpool so they may have married around then but I've no idea what Elizabeth's maiden name was.
