It probably is - what is the source of her parents names?

Added - there's also a Mary Armour Macmonegal, 1864, Glasgow Central.

Having to modify because we can't post at the moment:

I've enlarged the images and now I don't think either of them are a good enough fit  :-\

I've looked at the 1871 census and can't find anything remotely like any of them  :(

I think I've looked at this before. I went into SP and looked for a marriage and found this one: -

Blytheswood - 3 April 1885 - United Prebyterian Church - banns
Valentine Haggarty and Mary Ann McMoneagle, pottery worker, aged 21
Parents - John McMoneagle, engineer labourer and Mary Ann, m.s. Wilson

As soon as I saw this, I recognised Valentine Haggarty's name. i don't think we could find him again and I think he changed his name .

I checked my records and found that we'd done searches beteeen October 2006 and 27 Feb 2007. I've now searched on past postings and this was the thread that choco2 put up:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,216972.0.html

Having read the thread, Valentine went by the name of Glover for a while, Mary is just a minor player on the thread and appears to be born Glasgow but, knowing how people gave different information between births, marriages, deaths and censuses. I'm wondering if there is a similar mystery here.

I've been searching for Mary Ann's death after 1823 under Haggarty/Huggarty and Glover but can't find it in relation to a M*cM*g*l*  :-\

Found it - she died 26 January 1933. Her parents are now listed as William McGonagle and Ann Moore - both deceased.

So we're getting somewhere now  :D

Thanks Joe - as soon as I read through it, it gave me the lead. Why do these ancestors of ours give wrong info - is it just to make it more difficult  ;D

So no Mary Ann Wilson and no John - just William and Ann Moore  ::)
