Lancashire / My Conroy Ancestors in Leigh
« on: Saturday 19 September 09 13:45 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for my gr-gr grandfathers parents and siblings. 

His name was MARTIN CONROY b. 26/5/1869 in Strokestown, Roscommon, Ireland, & d. 7/12/1919 in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland.  He married REBECCA AINSWORTH on 14/10/1898 in Leigh, Lanc. 

I have found them on the 1901 census living in 4 Guest Fold (?), Leigh with their two sons MARTIN b 1897 & MAURICE b 1899.  They had a further 2 sons in Leigh (GEORGE HENRY & JAMES ROWLAND) before the family moved to Scotland (sometime betw 1904 & 1907).

MARTINs parents were MICHAEL JOSEPH CONROY & CATHERINE MALADY and his siblings were (unconfirmed):

PETER  b ~1857
JOHN b ~ 1859
CATHERINE b ~ 1861
PATRICK b 29/2/1864
MICHAEL b 9/9/1866
BRIDGET b 16/2/1872

All his siblings (that I am aware of were born in Strokestown, Ire.

I have found a death for a Michael Conroy in 1886 in Leigh and a death for a Catherine Conroy in 1887 in Leigh.  They are approx the same age that Martins parents would have been.  Unfortunately, I cannot locate any of the family in either the 1881 or 1891 census.  i am reluctant to order these certs in case their not my relations.

Can anyone help with Conroys in this area?

He was recorded in the census in 1851, aged about 16, in Main Street, Kilsyth, Stirlingshire.  He was recorded in the census in 1861, aged about 26, in Main Street, Kilsyth, Stirlingshire. He was recorded in the census in 1871, aged about 36, in Auchinstarry, Cumbernauld, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. Thomas died (Pneumonia (14 days)) on 11 April 1880, aged 44, in Westport, Kilsyth.

hello!

I am researching my husbands family and noticed your post.  I realise that it was some time ago but if you are still interested in this family, I may be able to help.  Patrick Docherty & Mary Gorrian are my husbands gr-gr grandparents, their son Thomas married Mary Simpson who are his gr grandparents.  They also had 10 children, including my paternal grandmother Alice.

I have quite a bit of info that I am willing to share if you are still looking at this family.

Regards

Lesley
