Find Ancestors

I wonder if anyone who has access to US records can help me I am trying to find the marriage of James Joseph Mcgrath b1906. His Father was John Peter McGrath and his mother Annie Lane. He married a lady named Beatrice.
His first (only?) child was born in 1937 Joseph Herbert.
James was born and I believe died in Quincy, Norfolk, Massachusetts.
Thanks
Chris

Chris - do you know when he went to the US?

Also, where was he born - it will help us avoid confusion with the other chap born around the same time who went to Pennsylvania.

Edit-different one

His Fathers parents were John and Mary from Ireland. So if the census is listing his Fathers parents then this would indeed be them

Chris, as asked above - do you know when he went to US and where he was born?

This will possibly help us find him.
