HI,
 I HAVE THE DEATH CERTIFICATES FOR JOSEPH  AND ISABELLA GREENWOOD.
JOSEPH DIED 05 JAN 1909 AT KELVIN, GLASGOW AND ISABELLA GREENWOOD, NEE BAR 19.09.1908.
 JOSEPH'S PARENTS ARE REGISTERED AS THOMAS, OCCUPATION -WEAVER, AND SARAH ELLIOT.

THEIR SON THOMAS GREENWOOD WHO MARRIED AGNES WOODBURN IN 1875 ALSO HAD AN ILLEGITIMATE SON WILLIAM PATERSON GREENWOOD BORN 1876.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY MORE INFORMATION ABOUT JOSEPH AND ISABELLA, I'D BE VERY GRATEFUL. 
I NOTE THAT THEY WERE BORN IN IRELAND BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHEN. THANKS.

Hi Glitter 123 , I am now totally lost I have just looked at My Isabelle's wedding cert she was married in 1909 to Edward Johnston Conniss, her parents on the cert are John Greenwood coal miner and Agnes's who had remarried by 1909 but I am unable to read her new name on the certificate. Sorry if I have missled anyone and waisted anyones time I can only say that when I get any information i get a little over excited as this side of the family are very difficult to find .

HIYA LYNDA,
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!  IT'S SO EASY TO BE HUNTING FOR AGES AND THEN SOMETHING JUMPS OUT AT YOU.

I KNOW JOSEPH AND ISABELLA DEFINITELY HAD A CHILD NAMED ISABELLA BARR.  COULD IT BE THAT THE FATHER ON HER MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IS INCORRECT.  MAYBE JOSEPH WAS KNOWN AS JOHN TOO?  WHAT ARE THE PARENT'S NAMES ON HER DEATH CERTIFICATE?
JOSEPH AND ISABELLA ARE MY GR,GR,GR GRANDPARENTS SO IF YOU FIND ANYTHING OUT, I'D BE INTERESTED TO HEAR!!
GOOD LUCK!!

Welcome to Rootschat, Glitter. This family does seem to be a bit difficult to sort out even with the certifiates that you already have found. What about the 1901 census- does that help clarify anything? If not, perhaps 1911 census will when it's released.
Meanwhile, you probably don't realise this but typing messages all in capitals is considered shouting so we try to avoid doing it.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

That's okay- you are doing well if you've just started looking for information online.

Hi Glitter 123 .You may be wright about his name. I do not have my Isabella's birth or death cert (she belongs to my husbands side of the family) . Isabella and ? Joseph are my Husbands Grt Grandparents I have the names of all Isabella's Barr and Edward Johnstone Conniss children if you are looking at all the family, if you would like them let me know.Which child of Joseph and Isabella's  do you come from, this side of the family is proving difficult to find I have an idea that originally they came from Ireland, I keep chipping away and hope I will eventually find them .
At this side of the family there is not a lot of information available Isabella and Edward did not talk much about their family so this adds to the difficulty, you are the first person I have met who could be related to my Husband thing could get exciting but i will keep myself in check until it can be proven .
