Hi, does anyone share this surname? My family are from Bridgeton, Glasgow but originally from Donegal, Ireland. Any info is welcomed, thanks :)

Hi dlt
Welcome to RootsChat :)
How far back have you managed to trace your family so far? It is always good to add some specific dates and names. Please note that RootsChat is not a forum to trace or discuss living people or events which are relatively recent. If anyone does have current details on living family, the best way to contact is via the Private Message service (PMs).

You don't give a lot of information - names dates.
I have never come across a McGlynn coming from Bridgeton who appears on census but a Daniel McGlynn married a Mary Ann Leslie in St Mary's, Abercrombie St on 26 Nov 1874. She came from Barrowfield Toll, Orr St.
Born 1853 and died on 27 Nov 1916.
Perhaps your McGlynns came from Donegal after the turn of the century.

Is this the Dave McGlynn of the Mcglynnfamily.co.uk site which is now down? If so;
1. That was a very good site what happened?

Hi:
To the Moderator Monica if Dave McGlynn of the same name that made the site ...
does not show up on this site again .. etc.
perhaps you know what happened to the McGlynFamily.co.uk website
Thanks

Hi pwrtgioln
Welcome to RootsChat :)
I don't know unfortunately what may have happened to the website you mention. Dave McGlynn who has posted here has not been back on line. Hopefully he will see the notification email regarding recent posts here and can answer your question as to whether he is connected to the site you mention.

Interesting comments.
I did have a site "mcglynnfamily.co.uk" but let it lapse as they changed the software for uploading to the site and I used different scripts.
I have much more information since then and have been meaning to set up another site but keep getting side-tracked looking at other McGlynns.
If your Bridgeton McGlynn was Mary Ann Leslie she ended up being taken off the streets in Johnstone by the police on 25 Oct 1916; age 64; and died on 27 Nov 1916 in the Poor House. She had suffered from debility due to a liking for alcohol. The reason her husband and children left her. Daniel her husband, and most of the family went to America.
There is a lot more to Daniel's family if that is who your're looking for.
If it it another Mcglynn in the Glasgow area or in the Northern Hemisphere in the Victorian Era I can maybe help, although I have just started on England from the north-east. Most American Immigrants and references to other census material in America and Ireland though again that is a long term work that at 64 I may never complete.
If you wish a copy of the McGlynn origins I can e-mail it to you in "word".
tell me what you have and I will see what I can do.

For Sancti,
The John McGlynn (28) in Camlachie will be from Kilteevogue and related to John McGlynn in Argyle St, Maryhill (on the same census). He was instumental in placing many McGlynn 'cousins' in the railway before he was killed in an accident at Jordanhill Station. The relationship of these McGlynns can only be shown in linear form as McGlynn marries McGlynn and they are very often 2nd or 3rd cousins. It's taken me years and I have hundreds of inter-related Mcglynns in the Finn Valley and Donegal in general.

Dave , I have an Ann McGlynn in my family , wonder if you have her on your files.
Ann McGlynn b Ireland 1835 m Michael Gilhooley b Ireland 1835.
Ann`s parents were Patrick McGlynn, labourer and Ann Early. Michael`s parents were Michael Gilhooley ,Labourer.and Catherine Ryan
I think they all came from Ireland. Ann and Michael living in Dunbar , East Lothian , Scotland on 1871 census.
I have been trying to find out which part of Ireland they came from.I don`t have a marriage date.I would be grateful for any information you may have

Boston14,
I came to this post from my e-mail over an hour ago. The name Gilhooley does not ring a bell but 'Ann Early' does; but I can't remember why or if it will help you. I'll have another look although I've looked at Scot, Ireland, Northern Eng, and America with no luck.
This may be of help or you may recognise some of these names. In 1861 there was a John McGlynn and his brother Patrick in Dunbar and another Patrick McGlynn. They are all born in Ireland about 1835 and arrived in the area as single men prob' about 1857/8 and your Gilhooley bride may have been a sister. I think they were there to work on the sea wall.
Both Patrick's married in Haddington, West Lothian which may give you a channel of thought. There are many McGlynns who may appear on census or other documents or not at all.
There was a great deal of movement between the lower Scot east coast and Northumberland but I found nothing there. One Patrick married Elizabeth (Bessey) McGuire and the other Mary Callaghan.
So I'm afraid not much help as the family may have been itinerant farm workers or railway labourers who very rarely appeared on census.
If I come across anything I will post it.
PS. If they were born in Ireland look to Leitrim or Roscommon.
regards Dave.

Dave
Many thamks for this . I had no idea that there were other McGlynns in Dunbar .The names are consistent with the details I have .The families were Catholic ,and I believe they would be married in Haddington , East Lothian,as there is a Catholic Church in Haddington.My GG Grandparents were married there in 1875.The sea wall possibly would be at the Victoria Harbour which would be new at that time.
I would be very grateful if you find anything else.
Much obliged

Evelyn, glad to be of help,
I have not looked at the East Coast of Scotland in depth. Last year travelled to Newcastle and Liverpool with little fortune. Libraries talk a good game for amateur research.
I would like to know what you have and would contact you if somebody came with similar request. I've looked to "google" in case I came across the name Anne Early on another site - but no. It is not a name that I've looked at but is familiar (as were the other names you mentioned) but I can't put a line on it. Will keep it in mind while I'm working on a couple of Donegal names.
Read this carefully . I Did have a site called McGlynn Family.com but let it drop. I used the Dell e-mail address of "@myway.com" but because it was shown on the web-site it attracted people in Nigeria who wanted to improve my life, and SA who had found dead relatives. I put more security on it and eventually locked myself out. It has just been released again and I have taken back the name *.
Contact me and I will give you you full Victorian Census details for Scotland of McGlin/Glinn/Glynn/Lynn etc with many not on official records. The info' you give me may assist joining others of families. I also have all recorded Irish McGlynns with notes on quite a few; emigration; Magfhloin in America with notes; which may assist you if you had some of the family move at the same time. Assuming you have names.
looking forward to hearing from you, (or others)
Regards, Dave

I'm searching for information on Charles McGlynn [born in Donegal c. 1870] who married Mary Harkin [born Corderry, Churchill, Co. Donegal] in Bothwell, Lanark in 1902. I'm attempting to discover his siblings, his parents and his original homeplace. It is very difficult as he worked in Scotland and on their return, the family stayed with the Harkins (Mary's family) so it is virtually impossible to decipher which of the many McGlynn families in the Finn Valley to Glenties area they are linked with. The witness at their wedding was a Patrick McGlynn (presumably a brother/uncle/cousin) and charles' father is listed as Patrick [may also be Peter]also (farmer, deceased by 1902).
-
Anna,
It is not obvious. There was a family of McGlynn in that area and I've not really looked at for many years. Charles and Patrick feature and I think a Mark (unusual; but maybe CofI). Mark and Patrick were just south of Letterkennny but had move out of the cattle business by the 1850's. That's not to say their family were not still involved in Letterkenny Town. I'd have to look at that as it's only a memory. However I'm sure this family are related bros' of the McGlynn in Gortmacollbeg just to the north. It is a family in the Renfrewshire area as well. Also America.
Please read the last message about my last e-mail address at *.
You can have all the McGlynn in 1901 in Scot and Donegal with notes. From what you know we might get your family. If not you'll get some good reading.
Looking forward to hearing from you and hope I can help,
Dave.

To Dave McGlynn:
This is my first attempt to use RootsChat -- hope it works. I am trying to obtain a copy of Chapters 2 and 3 of your McGlynn Family History that was on the internet several years ago, and was sorry to find the site inactive. Is there any way to get a copy of this? I have found the few pages I have to be most informative, but it is incomplete. Thanks for your assistance.

Does the Bothwell marriage certificate give his parent's names?
When did he return to Glenties?
-
David Marshall. I can send you that and anything else about Mcglynns I have. See the post 3 above yours that says "read carefully" and drop me an e-mail.
Dave
Santi. That message by Anna NigFhloinn was posted in 2011. The wife of Charles was just visiting her relations when caught on census of 1911. If I remember correctly she lived in Cambuslang at that time. Charles' family were in Hamilton in 1901, he as brother-in-law. Son of Daniel and Elizabeth who appeared in Ayrshire, from Donegal, on the 1871 Census. I did not see the marriage cert' (if she had one) but after Anna had the marriage date she didn't have the parents for some reason. Dave.

Mary Greene.
Mary Green was born on 31 Aug 1896 in Ardsbeg, Gortahork to Catherine Green. She was born outside wedlock and was a twin. The other child died at birth. The father was Edward Rodgers who married Kate after his mother died. The stigma of having an illegitimate child often means that the child did not have schooling and is often found on census material living with a relation as a grand-daughter or niece. Kate and her daughter Mary are on the 1901 Census in different cottages - also Edward Rodgers and his mother. These children were often sent abroad to a relation to have the chance of employment and marriage which would have been denied them at home. At a young age Mary was sent to an aunt in Glasgow. Her aunt was Maggie who became Maggie Breslin and the Breslins probably lived Maryhill (never checked) but moved to Riddrie when that area of Glasgow opened in 1920s.
Mary went into service and lived under the stairs at 39 Calderwood Rd, Rutherglen. In her 50s Mary could write her name but little else. On 11 Aug 1914 she married Francis Mc CCGlynn; son of Denis of Kingarrow; in the old St Columbekille's on Main St, Rutherglen. After marriage they lived at 48 Roseberry St in 'Gorbals' (Hutchesontown). Then to Hill St, Maryhill, New Stevenson, and back to Maryhill.
Children - Denis (stillborn, Gorbals); John, Gorbals, Mary, Maryhill, Frank, Kate Rodgers ho in Ardsbeg, Charles, Maryhill, Stephen and Romuald, New Stevenson, Theresa, Maryhill. Total.
Mary emigrated with her daughter Theresa in 1952 and lived with her daughter Mary in Long Beach Calif. She died on her 66th wedding anniversary at the age of 84 - 11 Aug 1980.

Being illegitimate was not a barrier to going to school and receiving an education.
-
Aghadoo, doo, doo,
I did not say it was a barrier. I know and lived with this woman (last met her in her 70s)and know it prevented her schooling. I know the Scottish and Irish Education Acts and I have knowledge from trainers of teachers in Donegal; admittedly now well retired or dead; who would all agree with your bland statement but know what was hidden behind it locally. We should be talking about the realities of life to allow younger people to understand how life was in those days - not what an act of government decreed. The idea of posting on this site should be; if you have the knowledge, rather than book reading or hearsay; to inform and give others avenues to look into which in the modern world they may not have thought of. If you have the years and experience please share them with others rather than bland facts that are found on birth, marriage, or census returns.
Regards, Dave.

Your earlier post said "The stigma of having an illegitimate child often means that the child did not have schooling" so I'm not sure why my reply evoked such an unpleasant response and name calling.
I know from years of researching family and local history that it was not at all uncommon for illegitimate children to be sent away to live with other relatives or even strangers but that also happened, for a variety of reasons, to legitimate children whose parents were both alive. I was commenting on your remark about schooling but if you wish to disagree with other members please do so politely.

Cousin in Lancashire,
I know that you were born in India about 1940/43 and now possibly live in Lancashire. You tried to contact your father who you had never known at his 'war time' address. Charlie has died but contact me for any info I can give. I have a photo of him as a gunner in India during the war when he met your mother. McGlynn, Thornton St, Glasgow. No McGlynns live there now but I know of your letter.
His mother had a letter written to his commanding officer and he was posted elsewhere in India.

Dennis. I've been trying to contact your family through cousin Verna. I sent her an e-mail but didn't get a reply. I remember May and Theresa well as I grew up in and about the house in Thornton St in my pre-school years. I have a photo of our gran with her boys the last time they were together and the going away photo of Mary, May, Theresa, Rene. My address is demcglinat gmaildotcom I'm Frank's son. They have some way of sending e-mail on this site that I'll try.

Welcome to RootsChat, Dennis :)
Dave, you need to let Dennis post back a couple of times on the main boards here to activate his Personal Message service (PMs). When you want to send each other PMs, just simply click on your usernames on the l/h side. This will take you to another screen where you will see the option to send a message this way. There are other ways, but this is a simple one to explain quickly!
The PM service works very much like all personal email systems with in/outboxes. You will get a notification (mine pops up as a box in the middle of the screen on RC). You should also get an email to the account that you have registered with here on RC.
Any questions, please ask ;)

Hi Dave
I have been reading your posts and it does seem that you know a fair bit about the McGlynns so I was hoping you may be able to help me. What I do know that my Grt Grandfather was Peter Mcglynn born 1872 and died in 1938 I know of his Siblings Anne, James,Bridget,Patrick,Michael & Bartley, I also know that his father was called Patrick born about 1829 but I know nothing of his siblings, not for the lack of trying.. ??? also I think his father was called John McGlynn I believe they were from the Cloghan area in Donegal.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Gordon.

David I would like to get in touch with you so I can exchange the information I have I our grandma she was was such a great person in the life's of my brothers and me.

Patrick McGlynn; son of John McGlinn of Ballykergan; married Bridget (Carlin).
John born 23 Jan 1871; Peter born 26 Jul 1872; Mary born 17 May 1874; Ann born 1 Oct 1875 James born 20 Aug 1877; Bridget born 6 Apr 1880; Patrick b. '84; Michael b. '86; Barty b. '90.
Dave
e-mail through site and I'll dig out maps of 1814,57, 1900 which show the families. There are McGlynns of Ballykergan in the west of Glasgow and down the Clyde. Some from the Reelan Bridge moved to the Antipodes I think Garda officers, but they may be Commeen.

Hello Dave, I have been trying to get in touch with you. Long time since we chatted. I see you have had issues with your address. Hopefully I can reconnect with you via this site. All the best Fran Powers Green, Mount Laurel NJ, USA. Family of Charles McGlynn and Sarah Strain of Donegal. Dunfanaghy and Gortnavern. They came here 1875 and 1880.
If I was to come to Scotland to find Charles family who went there for work where would be best place to start research.

Hello Fran,
Tried to contact you on your "Comcast" but came back not a customer. demcglin and I'm at gmail.com.

Greetings Dave....I'm so delighted to hear from you, extremely delighted! Unfortunately my email provider changed. My address name is still the same but the provider is now GMAIL.COM. If you recall I was able to figure out my GGF Charles McGlynn had two brothers who had apparently immigrated to Glasglow from Ireland and I found them on Poor Law Listing you sent me. They were Patrick who was married to Jane Brown and Hugh married to Isabel Savage. Both men listed parents as Hugh McGlynn father born abt 1815 and Margaret Coyle mother of Donegal.
Hugh 2nd was born abt 1853's in Ireland had a son Hugh 3rd born Scotland abt 1885. Hugh 3rd came Pennsylvania on ship with a Daniel McGlynn born abt 1857's with his son Andrew and Andrews family. At time you suggested they may be cousins.
See following notes I made from email you sent me a few years ago.
Per Dave McGlynn email Daniel Dc4 younger bro of Patrick, Charles and Hugh w/ unknown sister all went to America to sister who married man called Gallagher. Hugh 206 and Andrew 207 are both cousins. Dave McGlynn re-checked the original sources and they are both going to their cousins Gallagher at the same address Bankesville PA. Obviously although it says their cousins were sponsors and paid for their fares it would probably be an aunt or uncle who was probably illerate. Conclusion the aunt Gallagher is the sister of both their fathers.
I have attempted to confirm the aforementioned possibility without any luck. Have you ever been able to confirm on your end. I hope you can follow my story....it is wonderful to hear from you. Take care and all best,
. PS. DAVE. After reading one of your recent posts you mentioned a Daniel who came to USA because wife was of drink. Could this be one and same Daniel I am researching. I will try to reach you via email . Have a great day! ‼️
-
Dave, reading all your commentary on this site. I would love to receive the info on the McGlynns to America and anything else you would like to share. Fran Powers Green. I sent you an email and you should have my email address from this message. I want to comply with rules on RootsChat. Mthanks again. Fran. . THANK YOU👍‼️👍‼️
-
Hi Dave ?... Fran Green here once more. I was reading your comments about a Daniel McGlynn leaving wife and going to America . Could this be the Daniel I discussed with you on this site a few days ago. Thanks.

Dave .... I'm now on gmail.com with same name I had on Comcast.

Has anyone a Bridget McGlynn/McGlenn married to William or Barney Gibbons in early 1800s? They had at least 2 daughters: Ann and Catharine, about 1835-40. Ann and Kate emigrated to US and settled in Pittsburgh, PA. They have a Donegal connection: a daughter of a Mary Doherty Callahan came from there to live with the Gibbons sisters in 1883. I have some indicators that the Gibbons were sisters of Mary Doherty's mother, but they could have been related to Callahans. I'm afraid that's all I have on Bridget McGlenn.
Thank you!
