Thank you both.
Unfortunately I don't have a marriage certificate yet for James and Anne so at present the only info that I have is from my granpa's Scottish Birth Cert. I have no idea what townland James came from or when he actually moved to Scotland.
My grand parents both emigrated from Glasgow to New York in the 1920's whereas my father emigrated from NY to Glasgow in the 1950's. My dad died 3 years ago but never really spoke alot about the Brennan side of the family, other than they came from Monaghan and that apparently his grandpa James came from a big family!
I know that James' brother Patrick also moved to Glasgow and got married here in 1899 to a Mary Harkins.
James died in 1945 and Mary in 1962 they had (as far as I know) five children:
Catherine born Aug 1899 moved to the US (Chicago) but never married
Margaret Anne (Annie) born 1903 also moved to the US and apparently married a US Senator
Alice Maria born Feb 1907 married Bernard Flood in 1933
John James Albert born 1915 died 1941
Irene Eleanor born 1918 died 2002
