My great grandad Alexander Bryant born around 1880 in Cork,died 4/9/1922 in Glasgow, was married to Amelia Morrison,on the 24th Nov 1899 in Glasgow.Iam hoping to find information on his parents James Gray Bryant and his mother (by the way this is a cracker of a name lol) Dehlia Blackbird Reilly..I know at the time they were married his father was dead but his mother was still alive.

I think your best best in the census. Do you have an address from his birth cert?
The earliest surviving complete census is 1901. This is not indexed so you need an approximate address. 1911 census is also released. These are available at the National Archives in Dublin and on film at your local family history centre. (Church of the latter day saints) http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp for your nearest. The 1911 census gives age, relationship to head of household, marital status, occupation, county of birth and for wives it give no of years married, no of children born and how many children still survive.

There are a lot of Bryants in the Bandon area of Co. Cork. I don't have communication with any of them, but it is a good Protestant name in those parts.

Hi daisymaisy -
I know you said that Alexander's father had already died but his mother was alive when he got married in 1899 but could this be them on the 1901 census of Scotland-

Mary 18 "
Mark 11 Glasgow

1891-
James Bryant 33 Kirkcudbrightshire(Wood Turner)
Delia Reilly Bryant 36 Ireland
Alex Ireland
James Paisley
Jessie Glasgow
Mark Gray Glasgow

Also on the IGI(LDS site) -
James Brien(variation on the spelling) born 29th March 1855 Girthon Kilcudbrightshire parents Alexander Brien and Margaret Gray
Alexander Brien married Margaret Grey on 26th September 1847 Girthon Kirkcudbrightshire.
I have gone further back with the census records and can give you the details (the surname varies slightly again)if you think this is the right family(can't find them in the 1881 but realised they may have been in Ireland)
What do you think?
You're right - Delia has a great name!
Hope this helps

(Mo -well done-I'd be interested to know where you found the details-
they're very useful-especially the parents names)
-
Hi daisymaisy
I thought you would like to have a look at the 1841 details- it looks
like Alexander's father was from Ireland - maybe that's why they went there - if there was a connection
1841 -
James Brian 1801 Ireland
Jane 1801 Kircudbrightshire
Thomas 1822
James 1823
Alexander 1825
John 1827
Robert 1832
William 1839
Jane 1839
Address Birtwhistle Street Girthon
All children born in Kirkcudbrightshire
1901
Alexander Bryant 21 Ireland Iron Polisher
Amelia 23 Glasgow
James 1 Glasgow
Address 51 Landressy Street Glasgow
Maybe a possibility for the marriage of James Brian and Jane(1841)
On the IGI
James Bryan to Jean(Jane??) McMillan on 20th October 1820 in
Girthon Kirkcudbrightshire (just maybe!)
Here's the link

Hi there,
I think I could be related to you. My great grandfather is Robert Brian, whose parents are Alexander Bryon and Margaret Grey. Robert married Elizabeth Marshall and the family moved to Ayrshire where most of my family still reside.
Margaret Grey's parents are Robert Grey and Christina Shaw. Alexander's parents are James Brian and Jean McMillan. I'm sure you'll have all this info. I looked in to this a few years back so I can maybe help a little...I'm certainly no expert!!
I didn't realise there was a link to Cork....This is the first time I've ever posted something on here so here's hoping you get this.

Wow this is great to hear from you,I actually didn't have much info on the family from Co Cork untill the good people here took the time to find out all the stuff in the previous posts.
The last time I was in the forum i must have forgotton to sign out and we have had computer problems so not had a chance to get back in the forum.
Will send you a private message.
Thanks for making contact and once again thanks to the people here for all the information that you provided not only for myself but all the others doing research it's much appreciated.
