This might be one to look at:

Jane Connor b 1877 with parents Daniel Connor and Mary Mason

Thanks so much Hallmark - I have searched on the census returns although not on the site you have kindly supplied the link for - usually, I get rerouted to that site from Ancestry!  I have searched the censuses from 1901 and, on occasion, 1911 on FindMyPast/Ancestry and not come across anything that ties up with the info I have - eg, Daniel Connor/O'Connor, Londonderry - one in 1901 has different family names I know nothing of, although age could be correct whereas the one in 1911 is a young boy so not the Daniel I am seeking - I think William Ward just turned up so many I got cross eyed at my laptop lol - but I shall take another look using the site you've linked!  You just never know!  The only thing I am fairly certain of is that my DNA done via Ancestry does link me strongly in Donegal and Derry - no links further South despite whispers that Wexford and Dublin focussed in the tree!

Sorry, just missed your later posts - I think that Annie Connor had a sister Mary-Anne and there is a link to the O'Kanes, I will have to root out the snippet I found re that which could add more clues!  William and Annie, like the other side of my Irish family - Dorans and Kerrs, all came across at some point prior to 1891 to Glasgow but one brother from Doran side came to England - I think this is what makes me nervy - did their parents come across or stay put lol - 11 Blondes and 11 Oranges??? Love Island?? Sounds most intriguing lol

I found other children to this couple and realised that this Daniel would be too young.
Here is that marriage in 1876

So he is not your Daniel, sadly.

Aw, no worries, thank you so very much for taking time to have a look for me though!  I will get to the bottom of them - the Wards/O'Connors do seem to have more records, albeit sporadic ones, than t'other side lol

There is only one other WARD marriage in Londonderry 1869-1889 with a father named as William, and that is Eliza who married George DOBBS in 1885.  Her father William was a painter.  Perhaps this suggests that you need to look elsewhere for William's baptism, or perhaps he wasn't Catholic.
