What was the name of his son's 1st born son? Possibly named after his grandfather John/whoever?

I really don't know. I was absolutely astounded when I saw the LoA papers.  I had no idea John had ever been to Glasgow.  So maybe the whole family went, or perhaps it was just John and his son went over later.  Or maybe even John and son went together.  It's a real mystery.

No, no more John's after the one we are looking for.  No son's named John either

Thanks Annie for all your help and assistance with this and also everyone else who has helped out and made suggestions.  It is really helpful getting other peoples opinions.  I guess I will need to put John back in his folder for awhile now. 

Thanks again

Now wondering why my search for *on*l* failed to find O'Donnell. It should have done.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Just wondering if you have found his son and family in the 1901 Census? Perhaps, his wife said Glasgow as that's where the son had been but had moved elsewhere?  Even now, some areas may have a Glasgow postal address but those living in the areas do not count themselves as living in Glasgow e.g. Barrhead.

I was also wondering about the difference in dates from the date of death until the LoA.  I know even now it can take some time for Confirmation to be applied for in Scotland, however, it is relatively uncommon to take 2 years and I wonder if it is uncommon in NI too?
