Can anyone help, my grandmother who was Agnes O'Donnell was borne in Dublin ( we think) in 1889 she had a sister called sue it's a long shot but this is all the info we have except we think the family moved to Scotland while she was young
Many thanks

Many thanks
Travel wasn't documented then...
-
You could check the 12 Unknown ones..... http://www.rootschat.com/links/01jv1/
It only means 1st name wasn't on Index!!
-
Do you have her marriage cert to know who her father was?
-
I will try and find out
Thanks
-
What do you know??
-
Her name was Agnes O'Donnell she was born in 1889 we think in Ireland,
She married my grandfather in 1915 and it says she was divorced
She had a sister called susan who we think was younger
My grandfather was John george leslie. He was from Shetland and it says he was illegitimate
We believe they married in Glasgow where they had six children then moved to bristol and had another two
-
She married my grandfather in 1915 and it says she was divorced
When you say 'it' do you mean family stories?
She had a sister called susan who we think was younger
Have you found Susan on any censuses to say where she was born? Eg 1901 Ireland census or 1911 Scotland census? Have you found Agnes in 1911 - in Ireland or Scotland? Scotland censuses from ScotlandsPeople or transcription on ancestry.
We believe they married in Glasgow where they had six children then moved to bristol and had another two
It would, as others have suggested, be extremely useful to obtain her marriage certificate. If the marriage was in Scotland, the only place to obtain the certificate will be via the ScotlandsPeople website. Have you found them on the English 1939 register on findmypast if they were in Bristol [sorry but terms & conditions mean we cannot look on the 1939 register for you]? This will give the exact birthdates of John & Agnes.
-
Sorry it's my Bristolian slang, it says, means that was on marriage cert
No we've not found Agnes on any census Irish or Scottish, but we've not looked for susan yet
Thanks
-
There are two births in Bristol, 1929 and 1931 for Leslie/O'Donnell parents.
Thus would indicate a maiden name if O'Donnell, so what name did she have on marriage?
-
on marriage cert
What is her father's name on marriage certificate?
-
That sounds like my father who was born in 1929 and his youngest brother born in 1931. Her maiden name would have been O'Donnell and married name leslie
-
If the family were still in Ireland, there are only 10 Susan O'Donnells under the age of 10 on the 1901 Ireland census [free to search & download at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie. 1 in Co Clare, 6 in Co Donegal, 1 in Co Leitrim & 1 in Co Londonderry. You could open each page & see if there is an 11 year old Agnes as well also if father's name is as on Agnes' marriage certificate.
-
Yes I understand that so presumably she married as O'Donnell and not with the surname from her previous marriage.
As Josey asked, what was her father's name and do the witness names give any clues?
-
Thanks josey, I'm not sure how to use pm to send you anything as this is all new to me
Thanks

It looks as though it is- he is in 1891 census with grandmother Jane Leslie and her daughter Joan.
I am hoping that Oranges can post Agnes's details from the marriage.

I've asked my sister to send me copy of marriage cert

Many thanks
-

Many thanks
Will your sister be emailing you the cert or posting it to you?
I might have some Scotland's people credits to spare to save time.
-
I think she will be posting it when I get hold of her
Thanks
-
I did spend 6 credits to download the cert from Scotlands People.
It does indeed say that Agnes is divorced?
I have snipped the relevant section and hopefully it will help us to find her parents and her birth.
-
That's great thanks so her father my great grandfather was Arthur and her mother looks like it could be Annie?
Thanks

No O'Donnell/Slavin marriage found. EDIT : Found later by heywood reply #33 in Donegal in Jun 1871 - in my defence I was only looking up to 1870, as I thought that was when Mary [age 19 in 1891 was born] ;)
-
SP free index shows a Bridget O'Donnell born Bridgeton in 1885 & an Agnes in Bridgeton in 1887 .
ADDED: Death of an Arthur O'Donnell aged 0 in 1903 in Bridgeton.
-
Possibly I will need to dig a bit deeper, I was hoping she was born in Ireland but am I right in thinking it was Glasgow?
Thanks
-
That's very kind of you Carol :)
Good work from you and Josey.
-
Possible marriage:
1871 Donegal vol 7 pg 55
Arthur O'Donnell and Anne Slevin are on the same page.

That's great thanks
-
Here is the marriage - right hand page
http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632797#page/83/mode/1up
11th June 1871
It is in Latin but you can see their names - looks as though there was a dispensation of Banns and I can only make out one witness name - Michael Gallagher
The civil record would give more information
-
I'm going to have to study it as it's not very clear is it Donegal
Thanks
-
Yes, it's the parish of Carn, diocese of Clogher.

-
That's very kind of you Carol :)
Good work from you and Josey.
It only cost just over a £1,not much in the scheme of things and it helped enormously,by what I'm reading here now.Well done guys and gals ;D
The only thing that I did not mention when I posted the cropped image was that Agnes was a yarn factory worker.
Carol
-
That's great
Thanks very much
-
Hi josey that's great but we can't find evidence of Agnes birth either in Ireland or Scotland any ideas on where I can try
Many thanks for your efforts it's very much appreciated
-
Oranges,do you know if this Sue (Susan) sister of Agnes was older or younger than her.
What happened to her,did she remain in Glasgow,marry,or stay single.
Do you know when/where she died?
-
She was younger, and I believe she stayed in Glasgow, it has been passed down that she had six sons so I assume she was married if that's correct, but now there appears to be a step sister on my grandfathers side it may well be she was the one with six sons.
Thanks

1881 transcription Address: 35 Boden St. Bridgeton; Parish: Glasgow Barony; ED: 86; Page: 9; Line: 21
Arthur O Donnell 37 Brick Layers Labourer
Ann O Donnell 34 b Ireland
John O Donnell 9 b do
May O Donnell 8 b do
Francis O Donnell 5 b Glasgow
Margaret O Donnell 3 b Glasgow
Patrick O Donnell 6 Mo b Glasgow
so the family were in Bridgeton at least from 1881 - 1891. I already found Bridget 1885 Bridgeton & Agnes 1887 Bridgeton see reply #30. Suggest Oranges looks on SP free index for registrations of Francis ca 1875, Margaret [Maggie] ca 1877, Patrick ca 1879, Ann ca 1882 to check that the family registered all their births.
Although Agnes gives her age as being born in 1889, I suspect the 1887 Agnes is her & it would be worth getting this birth certificate to confirm or eliminate.
-
Thanks very much
-
Hi josey it seems strange if they married aged 26&20 why they had their first child in 1889 maybe they were Agnes grandparents? Do you think that's possible
Thanks
-
Hi again,
See reply #29. They had their first child Mary about 1872.
Heywood
-
Hi Girls, I know that Josey found the death of an Arthur O'Donnell age 0 yesterday,but can anyone find dad Arthur's death,which occured before Agnes married in 1915,and if she was divorced who and where did she marry the first time?
And when did mum Ann(Annie) die,not found her either.

Agnes's dad Arthur was supposedly a deceased labourer by the time she married in 1915.
Not sure a confectioner fits the bill 8)
They married from 17 Washington Street Glasgow,is there anything we can glean from that address?
Carol
-
Agnes's dad Arthur was supposedly a deceased labourer by the time she married in 1915.
Not sure a confectioner fits the bill 8)
I was just pointing out the family [to add to the confusion ;D ;D] and felt the occupation ruled them out.
ADDED: Have looked on NRS site http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk for a divorce 1905 - 1915 but none found; as Scottish custom is to call a married woman 'Mrs Forename Maiden Name or Married name' you can search with Agnes + ODonnell [can't use apostrophe is search field].
-
They married from 17 Washington Street Glasgow,is there anything we can glean from that address?
It's in Anderston, may have been an accommodation address?
I see that no siblings were witnesses at the marriage....

I just couldn't find any Arthur O'Donnell/McDonell/Donnells with father John baptised in Donegal 1845 +-5 yrs :(
Donegal was certainly the marriage county.

More back burner - might have a fire soon ;)
The informant on Mary's birth was Annie Slevin, Ardnagesson, Donegal.

-
Thanks everyone for your help, it seems definite that Agnes was born in 1887 in Glasgow you've all been a great help
Thank you
-
It's very likely but it can't be definite till you have seen the birth certificate or a baptism :)
-
Thanks we're hoping to get that quite soon, if she was divorced how do I find out who she was married to and if there were any children
-

One step at a time Oranges 8)
The birth cert will be available immediately you pay for your credits and search on Scotlands People.
-
Thanks we're hoping to get that quite soon, if she was divorced how do I find out who she was married to and if there were any children
Just for searching
Details to date indicate that Agnes O'DONNELL was born c1887/9
Possibly on December 19th
and in Scotland
If the 1901 census return is correct she was shown as 16 (bc1885)
If there were discrepancies around her birth her first marriage could be as early as 1901 as a minor,
however more reasonably from 1905 (actual age 18 from assumed civil records found)
Marraige most likely between 1904 and 1911 as not obvious on census as Agnes O'DONNELL
-
if she was divorced how do I find out who she was married to and if there were any children
See reply #51 for searches I made (which were negative) on National Records of Scotland for divorce proceedings 1906 - 1915; these I presume are not complete. I also looked on findmypast at Scottish newspaper reports but nothing there either.
Thread is getting quite long for an old 'un like me to remember all that's been found ::)
-
Thanks I know that feeling well
-
Like to say thanks to myluck! I sent pm but not sure if it was sent
-
PM received with no message but presumed the sentiment!! ;)
-
So do you actually have Agnes's birth cert now Oranges,and is it the right one?
-
My sister just sent it to me although it's difficult to read it says born 1887, born in Scotland I was hoping Ireland but its become addictive and uncovered a lot of things we never new, I.e. It looks like there were other siblings and we thought it was just sue quite fascinating never having done it before but we're really grateful for everyone's help, just got to uncover the rest now
Many thanks
-
Are her parents Arthur and Ann Slevin so that all the information given to you here fits?
-
Yes everything ties in
Thanks
-
That's great!
-
but its become addictive and uncovered a lot of things we never knew,
Welcome to the world of family history ;D ;D. Just make sure you never jump to conclusions & prove everything.
-
Of course I'll bear that in mind.
My wife's mother was born in ballinasloe county Galway newton beechill,woodlawns she was the youngest child of we think 10or 13 born June 1926, she had a child which she had to have adopted /fostered we think around 1940 to possibly 1947 my mother in laws name was Rita Hawkins
Can anybody shed any light on this the baby's father? I.e. The baby was also Rita
Many thanks
-
I would say it's almost impossible.
Your wife's mother may not have disclosed the identity of the father to anybody, even any authorities. The only way I can think of progressing this sort of query, in the absence of any information left in a will or some document by you wife's deceased mother, would be to try to contact the either the home where the baby was born or the local social services department. However information about an adoption or fostering may be subject to data protection and only available to the child herself. I do not know what laws cover this legal area in Ireland.
-
Thanks we'll keep trying

Adding to the discussion on Arthur O'Donnell and Ann Slaven. From the 1901 Scotland Census, eldest daughter Mary has married Alexander Drummond.
Mary Drummond Age 28, b. abt 1873, Wife b. Ireland
Spouse's Name Alex Drummond
Registration Number 644/3 Registration district Dennistoun
Glasgow Dennistoun, County Lanarkshire
56 Dunchattan St
ED 40; Household schedule number 179; Line 16; Roll CSSCT1901_274
Household Members
Alex Drummond 28
Mary Drummond 28
Catherine Drummond 3
Annie Drummond Age1
They later emigrated to the USA, Alex first, Mary & children a year after. On arrival in Boston 9 May 1910 w/ six children, Mary cited closest relative abroad as mother Mrs. O'Donnell at 48 Birkenshaw St., Denistown [Dennistoun], Glasgow; thus Ann was likely alive, but perhaps father Arthur was deceased.

That's great thanks, it ties in, your right Arthur I think was dead but can't find out when or death cert, I think Anne died in 1922 , if I can locate Arthur's death cert I can then see who his mother was and restart O'Donnell search in Donegal, I was wondering if there's no death record in Glasgow had he returned to Ireland , maybe on a visit and died there.
But thanks for info that's great

Also I must apologise if I gave wrong info before, it seems more than likely that my great great grandfather John O'Donnell was in fact from Donegal possibly Donegal town and not from limerick and not married to hanora Dawson, in fact I'm trying to find out who he was married to.
Sorry for any inconvenience in my defence it's hard when you don't know where to start and your hopeless on computers

Hi everyone, a lot of people have been helping me trace relatives, I've now found out susan O'Donnell married Hugh Cameron and although she died in 1962 aged 70 years and the informant was her son also Hugh, she died 14/5/62 at the royal infirmary Glasgow Orr street , does anyone know anything about Hugh Cameron or indeed is he still alive or any children
Thanks
