Mcneice married 3 times

[scotty75]

I'm tracing Minnie (mary ) Mcneice family tree. She was born in Lurgan in1872, died Glasgow 1946. Her parents were Thomas and Catherine Mcneece/Mcneice (maiden name Mcconvile) She has always been of interest in the family as she married 3 times.
She married robert tennant i 1894, his parents were Charles tennant and Jane ( maiden name Smith)
Minnie (Mary) then went on to marry Joseph Tennant who she married in 1905 , his parents were Andrew and Mary (maiden name Coppell ?)...
3rd marriage- William Gartshore whose parents were Alexander and Agnes Gartshore (maiden name mcelris ?)
So my question to you all...should i keep trying to go down this line? We thought the two Tennants were brothers and now it is not looking like this at all.How, if at all can i connect the two? HELP

Hi scotty,

In answer to your question ......

I get the impression that you won't be content until you discover whether Robert & Joseph Tennant were related, so I think you've actually answered your own question!! 

You'd need to do a wee bit of research on both of them to see if this was the case and perhaps go back a generation or two.

Work out their approximate dates of birth, try to find them with their parents on Census Returns and if you have copies of Minnie's Marriage Certificates, have a look to see who the witnesses were - sometimes you can get a 'lead' if one of the witnesses has the same surname.

No quick solution unfortunately, but if this wee 'niggle' is intriguing you - it'll only get worse (speaking from personal experience!!)

The William Gartshore you refer to would that be William born 26 April 1869 Glasgow, parents Alexander and Agnes Mellies. Think William lived in Maryhill. G
