Daly Family in Airdrie area and Mossend
« on: Sunday 15 January 23 13:53 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for info on John Daly and his wife Mary O'Neill.
John was born in Ireland in 1847 and Mary in Wales in 1849.
They were married in 1872 in St Margaret's in Airdrie.
They lived in Arden, Airdriehill, Longriggend, Greengairs and Caldercruix.
They moved to Waddell's Land in Mossend at some point in the 1890s.
They had 8 children.
I've found a decent amount of info already, just looking to see if anyone can add anything else.
Or if there are unknown relatives out there with further info.
Cheers folks.

As you already have more information, please post it here to avoid people duplicating work you have already done. In particular, names of the parents of John and Mary, names and dates of birth of the 8 children, any deaths you have found and names and dates of known descendants (but please don't include anyone who is still living).
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thanks for your replies folks.

I suppose I am throwing it out generally to see if anyone else is looking for the same family.

If I had to be specific, I am looking for more info on where John was from. I have conflicting reports.
One story is he is from a town near Boyle in Co Roscommon, another is that he is from Crettyard in Co Laois. Very different places.
His father was Michael Daly and his mother was Bridget Harmon/Harman/Hamlin (unsure of surname).
His children were Michael, Thomas, James, Alice, Mark, Bridget, John and Patrick.

I'd also be looking for for any local records that provide more detail on the family. I can't find any poor law records for them until after John died in 1898.

I've found them on the 1871, 1881 and 1891 Scottish Census. I also found Mary on the 1901 and 1911 census.
I've got their marriage cert and most of the children's birth certs.

There is a 1910 Poor Relief application online which just shows her birthplace as Wales

Have you already tried Family Search for any marriage for John's parents in Ireland or any baptism for him?

The Crettyard Laois info is based off of someone's search for those combination of names. I have no idea how accurate it is, but I haven't found any other record those name combinations and the dates.
