Yes, my great aunt lived at 20 Braidhurst Street from about 1938 until she died in 1975.
When she died I had to go to the cemeteries office in Motherwell to try and find a place to bury her as there wasn't any lair papers in the house. I can't remember after all this time but I must have had something to go on, perhaps Denis Sweeney's death certificate but I do know that the lair was found in time to bury her there. David must have been the other one I was thinking about as being interred in the 1940s, 1939 is close enough.
If the Denis Sweeney who was interred in Airbles cemetery, Motherwell in 1915 isn't her husband then who is he?
Park Street House was a Model, my late mother could remember having to go up there when she was a little girl in the 1920s (she lived about 2 minutes away) with a bowl of soup to an old man who was a friend of her father's. I wonder if this was David Sweeney? My grandfather (Sarah's youngest brother) was actually born in Renton and lived at West Bridgend until the family came to Motherwell about 1897. (Sarah and another brother were born before the family left Donegal).
So it is quite possible that my grandfather and his siblings went to school in Dumbarton with these Sweeneys.
I've just checked my 1925 Motherwell Directory, you wont believe it but living at Park Street House at that time were 4 male Sweeneys. DAVID, HUGH, JOHN and "M" Sweeney.
Here is some information from Ancestry -
1901 census. Address 19/23 Henry Shott. (could that be Henry Street?).
All the surnames are Sweeney
MARY, aged 34, charwoman, born Dunoon.
DENIS, aged 16, son, rivet heater, born Dumbarton.
ANNIE, aged 11, daughter, scholar, born Dumbarton.
MARY, aged 8, daughter, scholar, born Philadelphia, America.
SARAH, aged 4, daughter, born Jersey, America.
AGNES, aged 3, born Dumbarton.
I doubt very much that my aunt was a "grass widow" for all those years, my granny (who was her sister-in-law) didn't get on with her and she would have known about this and spilled the beans!
However, you never can tell with families. I'll try to get down to the cemetery and check the lair book again.
