William Michael Connelly

[Mercel]

Thank you everyone I really appreciate all the help you are giving me. All I have for definite is William Michael on marriage cert to Margaret Turkey in 1896, the same year our grandad was born, he was Michael too. William has not been used on any of his sons names, only sort of other link is a son called Gregory, not a very common name. Williams father was shown as Gregory on the marriage cert, no other details unfortunately. It's a mystery if ever there was one.

Another interesting Michael Connely - born in Dunbartonshire circa 1865 with his mother Catherine Incholson (think that could be a mistranscription of Nicholson) at Durham on 1871 Census.

Interesting because Monica mentioned the Gregory Connolly in Dumbarton on 1871 Census on his own.

Another possibility to look at (sorry ) - might not be your man but I thought it worth pointing him out to you.

Hi Mercel,

What was William Michael's age on marriage?

So many differences, trying to get an average year of birth & work outside from there

Been meaning to ask that too! Trying to sort out the ages is a good idea.

Could this be a sibling to William Michael?

I have just had a look at the Durham connection. It's Hartlepool which isn't that far away from Sunderland. There was one of the census said he was born in Partick. Is that anywhere near Dumbarton?

Wow thanks Monical  that could be a link he was married in St Joseph's RC church, Millfield
