William Michael Connelly

Now this is interesting Mercel - my nosiness got the better of me

The RC marriage reads - Gregor Connelly and Bridget Connelly were after due proclamation married by me in  presence  of Anthony Cannon and Honora Monikar Jan 8th 1855.  F Cody.

This interested me because the death of baby Michael Connelly - son of Partrick and Ann (Cannon) in 1861 is registered by the informant Anthony Cannon (uncle), 1 Well Lane, Partick . The death took place at 3 Well Road/Lane (poor writing).

Wow that is interesting.
Well this plot thickens by the second. Definitely confused to what went on

Well now spent a further two hours trying to piece this together and nothing seems to fit right as regard to the birth of William Michael. Don't think I am ever going to find out it seems to get more and more complicated the more I look. I did have a thought that his brother could be the Patrick you mentioned earlier but can't find anything linking them together.

Still not been able to confirm his date of birth or where he was born, so frustrating. I did send off for his death certificate. That came back saying he was 49when he died. He died in Wilson Street where he was living when he got married. Person present was his sister in law Isabelle. I have searched all uk entries and Scotland entries. surely he should appear on baptism records, family were Catholics.
