Thanks for your scenario - I do tend to agree with it. Unfortunately, most of my family originate in Co Antrim, so we have lots of green DNA from that area.
Can you tell me where you got the Greer reference on Thomas’s birth please? The index on Ancestry shows him, but no Mothers maiden name…

Mary Ann Greer married Thomas Nixon at Salford Cathedral on 9th July, 1889. Witnesses were Augustino Donohue and Sophia Hyndman. Mary Ann’s parents were Michael and Mary Greer.
We think Mary Ann was born about 1864 in Co Antrim, based on census ages. Her mother married Andrew Hyndman in the Church of Ireland church of St Anne’s, Belfast in 1870 and they had further children who were step-siblings to my Mary Ann. One of them was Sophia Hyndman, the witness above, who married Austin Donohoe the other witness.
The marriage of her mother to Andrew Hyndman states that she was a Spinster not a Widow - so she obviously wasn’t married to Michael Greer. The odd thing, is that she is also a Greer - so they either shared the surname or my Mary Ann was a product of an incestuous relationship?
Mary Greer (the mother) also states on her marriage that her father was Robert.
As far as I know, the step-siblings (Hyndman) were born in Co Antrim and Salford.
Mary Ann married Thomas Nixon a hairdresser from Preston and they had my Grandmother Ellen in 1898… but I’m not aware that she had a brother.

Yes. She married Thomas Nixon at Salford Cathedral in 1889 and gives her father as Michael (Michaelis). I know that some of her family were Church of Ireland and that some were baptised as RC later in life. I thought this was a good guess and maybe she was baptised just before she married.

Thanks for the help!
I was hoping for Michael as her father… is there any more info, like place of birth, or address?

Jozef - I now have the 1921 census return and they both state their birthplace as ‘Poland, Grodna’.
I think it’s a small village between Kolo and Kłodawa…

I believe that my Great Grandmother (Mary Greer) may have been baptised at Holy Name, Chorlton on Medlock in 1889. She was born abt 1862 in Northern Ireland, but I think she converted to Roman Catholicism in adulthood.
Can anybody tell me how I can access any baptismal records that may exist, that would include this event?
Thank you.

I’ve also checked naturalization records for him and his Polish wife ‘Lizzie Wizodski’, but can’t find anything.
