Confusion over names

[thomsos]

I seem to be a bit confused about this family, could someone please see if they can make some sense from this info –

Catherine Whyte b 1856 Parents Helen McGrory and Thomas White,(bottle worker lab.) informant was her grandmother Rose McGrory
Catherine White mc 1874 her parent were Thomas White (bottle blower journeyman)and Alice McGrory,
Catherine Gillan ms White d 1926 parents Thomas White & Alice Mcgrory


Thomas White b 1833 Co Tyrone married a Rose McGrory b 1835 Ireland, they married 1849 Barony.
Thomas d 1907 Garngadhill, widower of Alice Mcgrory

the DC for an Alice White ms Mcgrory , 1905 Denistoun, her parent were Michael Rodgers and Roseann Cleary, as I thought Alice’s fathers name should be McGrory I did not think this was the correct DC, but now I am not so sure –

I have a dc 1863 for Rose Mcgrory age 73 widow of Michael Mcgrory (soldier) parents Henry Clark (farmer) and Ann McCadden both Dec. informant –son Partick Mcgrory


1851 Census – 32 Parliamentary rd, Barony –Thomas Whight 20, Alice Whight 18, Ann 4,
Also on the same census is the Rodgers family –
Rose Rogers head widow 60, b Ireland (could this be Rose Mcgrory?)
Patrick Rodgers, son 20, b Ire
Catherine Rodgers, daugh. 18 b Ire
Bridget Rodgers, daugh. 16 b Ire.
Ann Rodgers , daugh. 14 b Ire
Andrew Cunningham, lodger marr, 27 b Ire
Rose Cunningham, lodger marr. 24 b ire
John Cunningham, lodger 1 b Glas

Am I correct in thinking the English form for Magrory is Rodgers!
And could Clark be Cleary?

Hope this all makes sense, as I am beginning to get totally confused

Recorded in various spelling forms including MacRory, MacCroary, MacCrory, MacCrorie, MacRorie, and short forms commencing Mc, and in Ireland plus the spellings of McCreary, McCreery, McGreary and others, this is a surname of Scottish origins. It derives from the pre 10th century Gaelic name Mac Ruaidhri, meaning the son of the powerful ruler, although who the powerful ruler was is not clear. The surname was very popular in Scotland from the early medieval times( see below), and according to Petty's Census of Ireland in 1659, almost equally so there. Today however in Ireland the surname is quite rare, and in the south of the country is generally recorded as Rodgers and Rogers! The nameholders in Ireland were originally gallowglasses, or mercenary soldiers, who were paid to enter the country in the 14th century to support the then government. Amongst the early examples of the name recordings are those of John Rothri, who was present at the court of Pleas held at Dull in Atholl, Scotland, in 1264, whilst later in 1506 according to the Exchequer rolls of Scotland, Alexander Makrore was a tenant of Kilkewane, Mull of Kintyre. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ninian Gillepatrike Mak Rori, a hostage to the English, who died in Carlisle Castle, in the year 1298. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
