Hello Philip
John married Catherine (Cassie) in Jan 1900 at Killeevan Church, Monaghan. They then appear in Glasgow in 1901 with their baby daughter (born Dec 1900) and Annie (Cassie's sister) is with them too. John was from Ireland but must have lived in Scotland for some years as he appears on the 1891 Scotland census (name misspelled). Annie remained in Scotland where she married an Irishman and they had four children. Annie and her family later emigrated to the USA and settled in Minnesota. The baby daughter mentioned earlier (born Dec 1900) also emigrated to the USA when she was around 20 years old. She stayed there for a few years but eventually returned home to Ireland. From memory I think it was around 1914 when Annie's family emigrated. You are correct about Cassie having a sister called Mary. There was also another sister called Margaret. Mary and Margaret also emigrated to the USA. My mother used to tell me about relatives in the USA whom she had never met.
Cassie also had two brothers. One brother Michael died when he was quite young. Her other brother can be found on 1901 and 1911 census records. I have a mass card for this brother who died in the 1950s
My broadband connection has been intermittent for the past few days so I will send this now before it goes off again. You have to have made three posts before you are able to use the personal message system. When you have replied to one more post I will be able to send you a personal message with more information about the family. I have copies of family letters from the USA which were passed on to me via one of your uncles and I have a death certificate for your great grandfather who died in Scotland a few months before your grandfather was born.
Regards
Angela
