The Brick Wall Of Brick Walls

Do we have marriage certificates/details for Vincent 1892 or Mary 1897 to see who they say their father was?

   baffling is what we do best 

The 1901 census for Gould street has these people:
Michael Brannan   60
Catherine Brannan   34
Patrick Brannan   25
Winifred Brannan   15
Bridget Brannan   12
Catherine Brannan   8
Vincent Brannan   9
Mary Brannan   4

We're trying to work out who Vincent and Mary are

Mary Agnes Mulskie dies in Sept qtr 1894 (Manchester 8d 173)

There is a Vincent Meicklaus reg Q1 1892    Chorlton  8c 794 from freeBMD, but can't find him yet on new GRO index

Right...OK...I think that there's some mix-up somewhere because I was sure that they were THE Mary and Vincent born in 1892/3 and 1894. We found a baptism record Sarah Brennan and it said her mother was Catherine nee. Clinton and Michael Brennan. So I think there is confusion somewhere. I understand that they could get the census wrong but why the birth certificate

[GJJW_1988]

Vincent Meicklaus is the son of Vincent the potential Russian - I have his birth cert. He dies in WW1

I don't think there has been any mix up - it's just that there is 2 Mary M***** MMN Clinton.

Children of Vincent senior and Catherine Clinton look to be:
John (b.1891, d.1891)
Vincent  (b.1892, d WW1)
Mary Agnes  (b.1894, d.1894)
Mary Alice  (b. 1897, d after 1911)

OH MY GOD! I've been looking at the wrong Mary! Well this is a turn up for the books! I cannot believe this! Thank you all so much!

So is it Mary Alice who is your relation?
