Neely's in londonderry

[joeyscat]

I've just been sent another marriage certificate for what shows as one of Oliver's brothers, Robert, who was re-married in 1882, and John is shown as a spirit Merchant - I've seen him down as an Inn Keeper somewhere else as well. However on this this certificate Robert is described as a horse dealer so he may have taken that over by then. It was his son, also Robert, who I think started the undertaker business. Interestingly in 1882 they were married in Blythswood and their address was given as 77 Renfrew Street, but they seemed to mostly be back in Derry by 1901, although Robert and Robert jr seem not to have been in Ireland for the census so may have been in Scotland at the time.

Joeyscat,

From memory when I was at the General Registers Office in Belfast, i'm sure it states on John Neely's death entry that he owned a hotel. It was either that or a census record.

When you mentioned Robert's marriage in Glasgow, I also did a quick search for Neely births in Glasgow around this time and in the Anderston district in particular.

I found a record for James Dunsith Neely to James Neely & Margaret Jane Rossborough. It states that the parents were married in Laroy/Lavoy Derry in 1878.

I dont think that this is the brother of Oliver & Robert as I have a record of hme being married to a Mary Isabella Scott.

Do any of these names / places mean anything to you?

Kingkerswell,


is there any information regarding the parents in this marriage entry?

[kingskerswell]

Sorry but I have no more information on this marriage. The fathers' names and occupations should be mentioned on the marriage certificate.
Regards

No probs Kingkerswell. Thanks for getting back to me.

Aghadowey,

This family are related to my Neely's. I just found it strange / coincidence that another James Neely, married to Margaret Rosborough, from Londonderry settled in the same district of Glasgow as my Neely's and was exploring the possibility of them being cousins.
