Hi All. As usual I'm on the scrounge for help as hit a brick wall...and living in Scotland it isn't easy for me to tap into Irish resources.
So tracing my family back I got some details on this side of the water for my GGGGF George (Wesley?) Maguire who seems to have been born in Ireland (Think Cavan or surrounding area) to a John McGuire (Maguire) and Margaret Brown (Browne). Seemed to have to potential matches, but not sure how or if I can make the final connection to either
Possible Connection 1: John McGuire B1828 Cavan Margaret Brown 9/3/1825 Ashfield, Cavan (Parents: John/Margaret) Margaret Browne 4/9/1821 Ashfield Cavan (Parents: James/Jane)
Possible Connection 2: Marriage: John Maguire - Margaret Browne Ireland Civil Reg Indexes 1845-1858 Film: 101241 Vol:4 Page:365 Image: 204 (John) 315 (Margaret) Cootehill, Cavan, Ireland
1846
I have George Maguire (McGuire) on the following:
1871 Marriage to Mary Hendry on 27/02/1871 and he is down as either being 22 or 24 (can't read)
Here it has John McGuire and Margaret n. Brown (both deceased)
1891 Census George McGuire, 44, Commercial St, Glasgow
Birth place is down as Ireland, which pushed me to search for John and Margaret there.
Any help appreciated...this one has stumped me and frustrated I cannot get past this. Happy to travel to Ireland but only if i can get a bit more solid info...would like to see if i could go back another generation or two, but guess it now gets difficult.
