...yes ...but the Henry I'm quoting is my grandfather, son of Robert Connelly and Catherine Morrow...his grandfather was confusingly Henry too, born circa 1825 he was the farmer from Cootehill.

Thanks chinapaddy, I have their marriage certificate from Paisley, but I'm really looking to find their origins in Ireland, where they were born.
Thanks for Eliza Jane Connelly, she had married a John Rutherford on 21/02/1896 , but the 1901 Census she was a Widow. I knew at least one of Robert and Catherine's children emigrated to Canada but hadn't realised it was Eliza Jane.
"Eliza Jane Connelly born 1874, in Paisley
Eliza Jane Connelly (aged 22) was a Sewing Machinist and married John Rutherford (aged 24) on 21/02/1896 at her home address of 286 Kennedy Street, Townhead, Glasgow. John Rutherford's occupation was recorded as a Locomotive Stoker living at 107 Kennedy Street, Townhead, Glasgow. Henry Connelly (my Grandfather) is recorded as a witness."
"Eliza Jane and John had a family of three.
Thomas Rutherford (b. 1896)
John Rutherford (b. 1897)
Catherine Rutherford (1901-1902)
In the 1901 Census, Eliza Jane Rutherford was recorded as a Widow and living at 292 Kennedy Street, Townhead, Glasgow. There seems to be no record of John Rutherford's death.
Eliza J Rutherford, Head, Widow, age 27, Domestic, born in Paisley
Thomas Rutherford, Son, age 4, born in Glasgow
John Rutherford, Son, age 3, born in Glasgow
Catherine Rutherford, Daughter, age 11 months, born in Glasgow
Catherine Rutherford sadly died aged 2 in 1902."

Lanarkshire / Re: McKechnie of Calton Glasgow
« on: Saturday 30 December 17 18:14 GMT (UK) »Co-incidently, my Mother lived at 243 Gallowgate in the 1930's. She was the daughter of Charlotte Anderson McKechnie born 1908 Musselburgh, daughter of John McKechnie born 1875 Bartiebeith, son of John McKechnie born 1854 Paisley, although the latter I cannot trace (Sone of John McKechnie and Rose Ann Stewart). Perhaps they are distant cousins.
I’m related to the John McKechnie born in Paisley in 1854, he was my great grandfather, his father was also John McKechnie who died in the Abbey Poor House in Paisley in 1861, my grandfather Hector McKechnie was the brother of the John McKechnie born in 1875 at Bartiebeth. He had other siblings...James McKechnie 1879-1915, Sarah Stewart McKechnie 1880-1902, Alexander McKechnie 1881-1975, Agnes McKechnie 1885-?, William Reid McKechnie 1890-1963, Hector McKechnie 1891-1972 (my grandfather) and Archibald McKechnie 1893-1973, please contact me for any info. Best regards.

They were married in the Scottish Episcopal Church in Paisley, so perhaps the Church of Ireland.

Cavan / Robert Connelly (b.1847) and Catherine Morrow (b.1850)

Trying to trace my Great Grandparents births. Robert’s father was a farmer named Henry Connelly (b. c1825) who had a farm in Cootehill....or was the name of the farm Cootehill? Henry married Jane Reynolds. Catherine Morrow’s mother was Margaret McGuire and her father John Morrow, a Soap Worker. Family story has it they both ran away to get married in Scotland, Paisley in 1874. Any information would be most appreciated.
