Family History Beginners Board / Help Needed To Find My Great Great Grandparents!!
« on: Monday 23 November 15 11:15 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone
I'm a new RootsChat member so bear with me!
I need some help tracing my great great grandparents-Andrew Brown and Mary Ann Bannigan. Andrew's a mystery as he came from Glasgow and appeared in the Isle of Wight where he married my great great grandmother Mary Ann Bannigan. I've found them and their children including Charlie my great grandfather, in the 1891 and 1901 census before they both pass away in 1907 and 1908 respectively. I've found their marriage certificate from 1883, but when it comes to finding Mary Ann's origins I'm struggling a bit. On the marriage certificate I found through the Isle of Wight family history society, she is listed as Bannigan, Leal which struck me as odd. I can't find her as Bannigan Leal, but found 3 Mary Ann Leals with no trace of Bannigan anywhere!
Is there anyone who could help me trace these two? I'm waiting for a marriage certificate to arrive which is taking forever, but any hints or traces others may have found of these two would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
