Is it possible someone with Worldwide ancestry membership could look up the details for Thomas Mcgourty.

Thomas married my grandmothers sister Mary Mulholland in 1922, details from Family search.

I have all the information regarding Mary Mulholland but the only information i have for Thomas Mcgourty is on the 1930 census below.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Maurice.
