The records refereed to above are correct.
John and William both single died in Scotland and a most significant aspect was that their brother Dan was the informant on the deaths registration.
This must mean that they remained in contact with each other.
But the story of their deaths did not seem to get passed down the generations.
Yet my granduncle knew something.

I am now writing this up and they will not be forgotten.

There is some importance to be attached to something that you wrote yourself being re-visited and looked at anew.


Thanks to all

US Lookup Requests / Anne Brennan (Nee Quinn) New York

Anne Quinn was the daughter of William Quinn and Mary Houston and was born on 20 November 1868 in Gobnascale, Convoy, County Donegal, Ireland.
She probably arrived in New York with her sister Mary in the late 1890’s. Mary was to marry a James Foy and move to New Jersey.
Anne married a Joseph P. Brennan (It was his second marriage) on 26 April 1904 in Manhattan.
Joseph P. Brennan died on 27 April 1907 in Manhattan.
I cannot find Anne after that? Did she re-marry? Did she stay in New York? Did she die as Anne Brennan?

Would be grateful for any information

My granduncle was quite young when he was told things and then he was away 1914-1918.
That story would fit and if the father of a family was killed then any children might not know their paternal heritage.

Thank You

Thank you

Those death dates go towards explaining why nobody knew anything about them.

Scotstoun and Yoker in 1917 might be Hugh?

William Quinn and Mary Houston had three sons who left Donegal for Scotland and have never been heard from since.

William Quinn
William was born on 15th June 1874 in Meenbane I was told that he was killed by a train in Scotland.

John Quinn
John was born on 8th January 1877 in Lettermakenny. I was told that he and worked as a doorman in Motherwell.

Hugh Quinn
Hugh was born on the 8th September 1882 in Mullinavey. In Census 1901 he was described as an agricultural labourer and still in Ballindrait but by 1911 he had gone.

It was my granduncle Willie born in 1886 who told me about William and John and he never heard of Hugh.

This is all I have and would be grateful for any information.
