The gravestone above- no ages listed. In Tibohine New Cemetery

It doesn't state they were born in Cortoonmore- it has Cortoonmore under Catherine's name which I take to mean she had been living there? Although I could be wrong.

Depending on their ages, there are lots of possible births listed in Roscommon.

You say these are your relatives.........how are you connected?

to your question Jacqueline they are my stepgrandfathers brother and sister .
I know off the family home in Ireland but have not put 2 and2 together until Griity put the Roscommon bit there I have bits of paper and photos with some writing on the back
sharkey homestead
cortoonmore
near ballaghadrreen
co,roscommon
but I don't know if they were born there and I know its been empty since 1992

What is your step grandfather's name? When was he born?

Who did Andrew list as his father on his marriage certificate?

Have you found him on the 1911 census?
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

1911- your step grandfather?

Sharkey Bridget 38 Female Wife Roman Catholic
Sharkey John 5 Male Son Roman Catholic
Sharkey Andrew 3 Male Son Roman Catholic
Sharkey Bridget 1 Female Daughter Roman Catholic
Bruin Margaret 80 Female Mother in Law Roman Catholic

Possible for Andrew in the Irish 1911 census. Was his father also Andrew? Andrew and Bridget had been married for 6 years and had had 3 children, all living:
