Much appreciated, thanks.

Big ask...

have played around on Ancestry Indexes and can see this same family in 1900 minus Patrick senior. Now, looking to see if anyone has them on their tree, I can see one called Quigley Tree by a kathleendestefano_1 which has Glancy entries including at least (haven't gone through all) a Patrick born Ireland 1832 died Philadelphia 1897 (so makes sense for not finding him in 1900 Census Index) and a Mary born Dundee 1866. As I have no current Ancestry membership, I can't contact the person (who looks to have been active on site this month). Could someone with access kindly send them a message directing them to this thread here?

Thanks, in hope.

Thank you Nel and Monica. Thanks also to sdbadger and, from memory, ms_j_a (who picked up first on a possible Philadelphia link) from chatterbox.

Contact was made with the lady from the Ancestry tree in my last post by you, Nel, and by sdbadger who was in chatterbox last evening. The lady (who it turns out is in New Jersey) responded by visiting the Rootschat chatterbox late yesterday evening. Thankfully I was still online and we had a lovely 'conversation', discovering that her  great great grandmother was the Helen Glancy from my post, my great great grandmother's sister.We now hope to communicate again by email and share our research.

Well done one and all.
