William Michael Connelly

[MonicaL]

There is a Glasgow marriage for Gregory and Bridget in 1854 so I am thinking he will be the father of William Michael. Doesn't surprise me if Michael might occasionally show as born in Sunderland. Potentially he could have been there from c.1861 onwards. The 1871 census entry we had earlier for this family also showed Michael (as Mitchell) as being born in Sunderland.

This is a likely death for Gregory https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NPX8-W6N  Man of mystery is this Gregory. He died in June and census was in March that year. He should be in the area for that last census for him. So far, we only have him in 1871 

Mercel, apart from the marriage of John, there is also the marriage of Anthony linked above for reference.

  This family like to chop and change on their names! Found them now I think for 1891 in Jarrow Durham:

Michael Conelly 50 labourer b. Ireland
Bridget Conelly 45 b. Ireland
Anthoney Conelly 22 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham
Jane Conelly 21 son's wife
Michael Conelly 28 Riveter b Scotland
Peter Conelly 22 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham
Mary J Conelly 22 son's wife
John Conelly 29 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham (looks like birth place confused with wife's)
Mary L Conelly 26 son's wife b. Scotland

Looks like all sons were married by this time, except for Michael then.

I have been looking at that family too Monica but was confused as we seemed to think we had William Michael on the 1891 already. He was lodging in 1881 and also lodging in 1891.

Either we can't find this family (1881 the rest of the gang are AWOL) or we find too many

I do think this is them together in 1891. With this entry we have all the names from that 1871 entry, except Gregory showing as Michael. All matching pretty much too on birth places and occupations. I do not now think that the entry for Michael born 1858, lodging in 1891 is the correct one.

Likely Bridget died between 1891-1901. Have now found a possible entry for Michael Snr in Hebburn, a widower, aged 50 (light on years) born Ireland. Occupation is a brickyard labourer which is what showed in 1891. A/try have it transcribed as Michiel Connelly.

Yes, these people all look good and they do seem to like chopping and changing names and ages and places of birth......
But who is this on the 1891 Census -
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WV2N-NZM

This looks like the same Anthony from 1871 Census - but yet this Anthony and wife Jane are listed with the rest of the family in South Shields , Jarrow in 1891 (added) 

Confusing

This family like to chop and change on their names!

Why should 1881 be any different  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q271-XLG6

So father so far we have potentially:

Gregory - at marriage and sons' marriage regs and 1871 census.
Robert  - potentially for son William Michael's birth in 1858/Partick
Graham - census 1881
Michael - censuses
Gregory - at death in 1901

Not that concerned now really that son went by the name of William/Michael

Good find Monica - they certainly like a change of name, although to be fair Graham could be a mistranscription of Gregory (if the writing was bad) , same with Coaley/Connelly).

So that would also rule out the William lodging on 1881 too 

So Michael picked up the name William to get married

But what about the "other" Anthony living in Bishopwearmouth with wife Mary J and child Margaret A.....could Anthony be on the Census twice ?

[Mercel]

You are both so good for giving up your time to help me. I am certainly not as quick as you at finding stuff.  This looks great and they do fit in with the Millfield connection. Why they were in Jarrow is intriguing but I reckon they must have gone there for work. Gregory as I can see died in Hepburn but buried in Bishopwearmouth which is the cemetery close to the Wilson Street area. Perhaps Gregory was Michael Gregory or Gregory Michael.

Michael Conelly 50 labourer b. Ireland
Bridget Conelly 45 b. Ireland
Anthoney Conelly 22 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham
Jane Conelly 21 son's wife
Michael Conelly 28 Riveter b Scotland
Peter Conelly 22 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham
Mary J Conelly 22 son's wife
John Conelly 29 Riveter b. Jarrow, Durham (looks like birth place confused with wife's)
Mary L Conelly 26 son's wife b. Scotland

would there be a possibility that he could have been added to two censuses, one in Sunderland and the other in Jarrow same as Anthony. It looks like dad has just said they are the members of our family and might occasionally live here lol.
