Help! Harrison/McGuire wedding/info c 1840-1865

[McGuire77]

Hi

I am looking to trace a marriage or any info relating to my GGG Grandparents William McGuire (Maguire) and Elizabeth Harrison.

They moved to Glasgow some time around 1860s and had a son, also William born around 1862.

By time William jnr was married in 1885 to Mary Dailey, his father was deceased. His mother appears on a census in 1881 in Glasgow, widowed, and with her sister Mary (Kelly).

Each census has only given the very helpful 'Ireland' as places of birth.

Elizabeth Harrison appears in Glasgow in 1881 and 1901 census with birth around 1843 to 1847. William jnr is also noted as being born in Glasgow 1862 however so far searches have not confirmed this on ScotlandsPeople or elsewhere.

One possibility we have found is a marriage in the parish of Ballyculter and Ballee in September 1853 of Mary Harrison and Charles Kelly - who may be the sister and brother in law of Elizabeth from other census around Glasgow. The same source in Co Down does not have any Maguire/Harrison combinations.

Does anyone have any ideas or additional places to check as I have almost exhausted all searches on Ancestry and FindMyPast.

Thanks in advance, Paul McGuire

I should also say that we have no info from word of mouth down through the generations of where our branch of McGuire's had roots in Ireland..... so all counties are up for grabs until we can get something to hold on to. The Harrison/Kelly marriage is first glimpse of anything...

Was William born Ireland or Scotland? Any children born in Scotland after 1860?

1881 census and beyond have William born around 1862 in Glasgow but we havent been able to find any record, so are now starting to doubt that info.

No further children are known to have been born. Elizabeth only ever appears on census with William (jnr).
