?Death of Philip Mortimer 1841-1851? [ex Roscommon to Glasgow 1833]
« on: Tuesday 21 September 10 12:51 BST (UK) »
hi
I am gaining ground on my Mortimer family arrived into Glasgow from Roscommon in 1833.
They are in 1841 census, and most in 1851 census then living with McGeoughs, or rather McGeough's with them.

I have death of mother Bridget Mortimer in 1855 [nee Cairns. M.N. Sheridan] , death of daughter Ann [McGeough] in 1856, and various records of Ann's brothers John and Philip Mortimer.

 I am missing the death of father Philip Mortimer who was in the 1841 census, but not in 1851 census  - so I think he had died by 1851.

They are Catholic and  buried in Dabelth.

I have tried various soundex/ fuzzy, etc variants in Scotlands People for Philip Mortimer.
But not found his death yet.

In 1841 census he is aged 55 - so born in  c.1786. 
and wife Bridget is 40, so born in c.1800 [though her death cert, in 1855 states she is aged 68 so born in 1797...].

Two infants named Philip Mortimer died in 1868.

thanks for any help with this
Julie

Many thanks,
&
Good thinking  and thanks very much.

 Philip Mortimer's  daughter Ann McGeough's [nee Mortimer] husband, Francis McGeough from Magheross or nearby in Monaghan, was in  Glasgow Poor House's through parts of 1877-1881 when he died in one, last lived Candleriggs st.
Though this is likely some 30 years after Philip Mortimer died c1841-1851.
 Ann died in 1856 aged 30, at Bridgegate st. One son, John McG[e]ough b1845-d.1885.
 
The Mortimers in 1841 census page have unclear address - not on page, at top is listed St Marys Tron [I think]  which looks to be much further north than down in Bridgegate.

In 1851 census the Mortimers, living with McGeoughs are at 71 Bridgegate st, Bridget Mortimer [Philip's wife who outlives him] is listed as HEAD aged 58. Bridget died in 1855.
