Title: Connolly/Weir late 1800's - mid-early 1900's
Post by: Catherine Rainwater on Thursday 16 February 17 19:01 GMT (UK)
I have been looking for information so I can trace my mother's family.  Her father was Peter Connolly who immigrated to the US in 1928/29 (arrived Jan 1, 1929) on the Cameronia.  His mother was Catherine Connolly (Weir), and was listed as living at 94 Alexandra Parade, Glasgow on the ship's manifest. His father's name was Andrew Connolly.  Andrew and Catherine were married July 15, 1892, and on the marriage registrar, their parents and addresses were listed.  Andrew's parents were Henry Connolly and Elizabeth (who remarried I think? And became Bennet, and had been Sloan? or reversed?).  Catherine's parents were John Weir and Susan (who may've been McGrath? It's hard to read the writing).  Henry & Elizabeth lived at 45 Shuttle St, Glasgow in 1892.  John & Susan lived at 49 Duke Street, Glasgow in 1892.  Unfortunately, beyond knowing everything going forward (with Peter), I don't know any other information.  Does anyone know anything? (I have searched what seems endlessly).  I am attaching the marriage registrar image.

Hi All, I am descended from Susan Weir (nee McGraw/McGraith) and John Weir, through their daughter Agnes, Catherine's sister.
On the Scotlands people website i found a transcript of the 1881 census, which Anne P has posted the details of, except I have them as Finch, rather than Tinch.
I have John & Susan's marriage certificate which i will try to upload..

ok..have tried to upload image but it's telling me the file is too big? ??? so if anyone has any questions about it i'll be happy to help. sorry for my technical ineptitude. :'(
