HI I WAS HOPING SOMEONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP WITH MY QUERY
IVE HIGHLIGHTED IN BOLD THE PART RELEVANT TO THIS BOARD
Hugh Heaney (1854 - 1936 b. Port Rush, Ireland) married Mary Ann Mulholland (1861 - 1896) I have her parents details which leads me to believe she was born in scotland. Her parents would be William Mulholland (B. Dec 1 1825, Glasgow) and Mary Browlie (b. 1830)
Hughs parents were Hugh Heaney (Died 1875 - I dont have his birthdate) and Martha Peacock (1835 - 1909) Martha was married twice - First to Samual Mccallum and then to Hugh Heaney, She died in Hamilton, Lanarkshire.
Hugh and Mary had several children who I have listed.
Alex (b. 1884) married rose crownie - no further information
Martha (b. 1887 d. 1978) she married Alexander Heaney who was actually her cousin - I believe they moved to australia with several of their children. Again i have no evidence it was actually her cousin she married.
Hugh (b 1888) - I have no further information
Sarah (b 1889) Had a son Thomas - I have no info on the father or any info on Thomas afterwards
Letitia (Letty) (b. 1891) - Married Mayor McDonald - No further info
Mary (1892 - 1958) Mary is my great grandmother. I have plenty of information about Mary as she is my family line however there are a few mysteries I need assistance with...... Mary had several children my gran being one of them
Mary married twice 1st John Strachan in 1911 and then 2nd David Telford in 1943
Mary and John had 10 children
Peter Strachan (B. 1912)
Rose Strachan (b. 1913)
Jean Strachan (b. 1915)
Martha Strachan (b. 1917) My gran
John Strachan (b. 1919)
Edward Strachan (b. 1919 - Johns twin) Edward didnt marry and was killed in action in burma during WW2
William (b. 1920)
James (1926)
Margaret (1928 - died 1949 - suicide)
Archibald (b.1928 - dies one year later)
My gran told me that when they were young her parents couldnt afford to feed them all and decided to let one child go. I found this a bit strange but sure enough Jean was sent to live in New Zealand - I know she went in 1925 and eventually married Allan Hector Caldwell and had 2 sons - However I'm unable to establish why she was picked to leave scotland, who she left with, what happened to her once she left etc...... and I'm unsure how i could get this information.....
Lizzie (b 1895) Married John McDonald - No more information available
It appears when Mary died Hugh went on to remarry a Mary Callaghan - on the records her name has kellochan in brackets next to it - not sure if that's just for pronunciation reasons. Her birth 1867 and death 1901 - her death certificate states she died from shock of childbirth but I only have one child listed as hers and that's Edward born 1899? Edward went on to marry Janet Prentice and i have no further information on him.......
If anyone could help I would be extremely grateful.... and thanks again to those who have helped already I'm sorry if i have wasted anyones time......
Paul
