Kenneway Yoker Glasgow

[PearsonKenneway]

Looking to find out more on my great grandads family
John Kenneway married to my great grandmother Sarah Jane McCargo before that he was married to Elizabeth Robertson Craig

[CaroleW]

Can you include some details as to dates please?

What information do you already have and exactly what info are you still looking for - so we don't waste time duplicating

[CaroleW]

According to Scotlands People - the Kenneway/McCargo marriage was 1937.  A copy of that cert will give you his parents names and mothers maiden name

The Craig marriage was 1926 so same info available via that cert

In both cases the certs can be downloaded from the SP site via purchase of credits

[PearsonKenneway]

there are not too many Kenneways in Glasgow.

My Gran is Jeanette Pearson nee Kenneway,
She has a large group of brothers sisters and half sisters.
There father

John Kenneway
B. 1893
-Harbour fireman-
Married Elizabeth Rob.. Craig
Who passed away after having 2 children
Rachel & Kathleen
He then Married a widow (my great gran)
 Sarah Jane McCargo
Who had a daughter to her first marriage,

Sarah and John then had
John,
Massey(possibly Mary Jane), sally (Sarah Jane or Sarah Ann),
Agnes,
Alex(Alexander),
David,
Jeanette(my gran)
John passed away 1945
Just weeks before my gran was born.

There was a lot of upset in the family as Sarah Jane took cancer and my gran was sent to live with her half sister Rachel in England for a few years, Massey went into care system as she had a disability and the others couldn't manage to keep her my grans recollection is that her grandad John lived with them for a wile so this would have been well after his son died. He is as follows

John Kenneway
B.1873
Unbelievably
D.1972
His wife was Catharine Craig

I have found a census for there house hold in 1911 Patrick Glasgow

Catharine Kenneway 38years
John Kenneway 37years
David Kenneway 1years
Catherine Kenneway 3years
Thomas Kenneway 5years
Alexander Kenneway 8years
Agnes Kenneway 13years
John kenneway 18years

Ireland has been thrown into a conversation with my gran but she don't know if it's the Kenneway or mcCargo line

Any help or advice would be great iv done what I know on a tree on family echo but have still to add in the census info I found

Thanks
Stephen.

Hi Stephen

I can't see John Kennaway b. circa 1873 birth in Scotland. The 1901 census indicates he was born in Ireland. What did the 1911 census entry you have show? Catherine Craig also shows as Irish born

From 1901:

John Kennoway 30 Contractor's Carter b. Ireland
Catherine Kennoway 31 b. Ireland
John Kennoway 7 b. Partick, Lanarkshire
Agnes Kennoway 2 b. Partick, Lanarkshire

I cannot see a Scottish marriage for John and Catherine. Likely they may have married in Ireland? Any of their children's births certs should show date and place of parents' marriage.

John Kenneway
B.1873
Unbelievably
D.1972
His wife was Catharine Craig

Based on his birth year, the closest death I can see is this one:

John Kennoway, aged 90 died in 1958 in Springburn.

I can't see any death in 1972 for a John Ken*way on SP    You should be able to view the 1958 death online on SP to check.

Catherine Mary Craig/Kenneway died aged 71 in 1940 in Milton.
