I have bought the image from Scotland's people for the birth of Michael Connelly. Father is shown as Robert Connolly, a labourer and a Bachelor. Bridget is shown as maiden name Connolly. I think Bridget has been a bit naughty had an affair with Robert, Michael being the result. Gregory has as it seems been very forgiving and took the family to the north east and bring Michael up as his own. I can't make out the address as transcript is very difficult to read. That would be interesting to see if it is the same address as John. Was definitely Govan going by the IGI batch number.

You are both so good for giving up your time to help me. I am certainly not as quick as you at finding stuff.  This looks great and they do fit in with the Millfield connection. Why they were in Jarrow is intriguing but I reckon they must have gone there for work. Gregory as I can see died in Hepburn but buried in Bishopwearmouth which is the cemetery close to the Wilson Street area. Perhaps Gregory was Michael Gregory or Gregory Michael.

Michael Conelly 50 labourer b. Ireland
Bridget Conelly 45 b. Ireland
Anthoney Conelly 22 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham
Jane Conelly 21 son's wife
Michael Conelly 28 Riveter b Scotland
Peter Conelly 22 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham
Mary J Conelly 22 son's wife
John Conelly 29 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham (looks like birth place confused with wife's)
Mary L Conelly 26 son's wife b. Scotland

would there be a possibility that he could have been added to two censuses, one in Sunderland and the other in Jarrow same as Anthony. It looks like dad has just said they are the members of our family and might occasionally live here lol.

On 1891 census it doesn't actually say where he was born. Normally would have DO underneath if born in same town. Box is blank? All the other census say Scotland.

Hi the Michael I found living as a lodger in Catherine Street with the Hutton family. Spelling was Connolly. Aged 30 - age is more or less correct. Same profession, riveter.
