Whelan

[Little Warrior]

Hi

I believe my 4 x g grandparents were Martin Whelan and Julia Moore of Ireland who later settled in Lanarkshire.   Descendants were in Hamilton Scotland.  I would appreciate some advice on locating their birth, marriage, death and census records.

Thank you

Hi

Can you provide some dates please so we have a timescale to work from.  When and where was their first child born - name of child etc

1871 indexed as Wheeler but somebody has notified a transcription error back in 2012 so may be researching the same family

I have sent an email directing them to your post

1871 for New Monkland


Martin Wheeler (Whelan)   34 coal miner
Julia  30
Robert   10 b Ireland
Michael  8 Ireland
John  7 Ireland
James  4 b Bathgate, Linlithgow
Mary  1 b New Monkland
New Monkland ED 6 Page 19 Line 11

They must have married in Ireland around 1859-1860

[Little Warrior]

I believe that they had a son born about 1860.

Robert married Mary Ann McConnell (I think).  They were living in hamilton 1881 census. He was 21 and Mary Ann was 23.  They had a 1 year old daughter Maggie.

They had a few more children, but Robert appears to have died before 1891.

Martin and Julia mat have also had a son Patrick

Transcribed as Wheelan in 1891 and birthyear 10yrs different to 1871


Martin Wheelan   64 Ireland
Julia 59 Ireland
James  22 b Bathgate
Sarah  20 b Hamilton
Mary  19 b Longriggend, Lanarkshire
Julia  14 b England

Catherine Manwell 3 Months granddaughter b Hamilton (no idea if this surname should be Whelan)
Hamilton ED 4 Page 8 Line 19

If Martin died in Scotland then a copy of his death cert will give you his parents names and mothers maiden name - same with Julia     www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

In 1881 they are in Durham transcribed as Whalen

Carole
Thank you very much, this has given me so much more than I had, due to different spelling of name.
