Hello. I have been researching my family tree for months now and have managed to go way back down different branches. However, my maternal grandmother's branch seems to be impossible to find after my 2nd great grandparents. All I have for them is a marriage certificate, which I've attached. Their names were Thomas McGuire & Catherine Mulligan and they were married in Belfast in 1876. Both have their father's names on the certificate. I know that at some point they moved to Glasgow where they had Francis John McGuire, my great grandfather. But I can't seem to find any information on the parents of Thomas & Catherine other than their father's names. I've tried searching Irish Ancestry records but can't seem to find much. All very confusing. Can anyone help? Thanks.
-
If they died in Scotland, I think their death certificates would include their mothers' maiden names.

Welcome to Rootschat
Son Francis was b 1885
Possible 1901 entry for Glasgow
John McGuire 68 b Ireland
Mary McGuire 68 b Ireland
Francis McGuire b Glasgow grandson
A Robert McGuire - mmn Mulligan was born 1879 Lanarkshire
-
Here is the parish record - Maguire - which gives his parents as John and Sarah McMahon. Unfortunately, the parents residence has been scribbled over.

Fantastic! Thanks so much
-
I haven’t yet found a baptism for Thomas, but here is one for John to those parents in 1855. The residence is shown as ‘Analoist’. It is a transcript.
The townland may be Aghnacloy?

Thanks so much for all your help. I've found out more tonight than I have in months. Is there a way to find the parents of John & Sarah?
-
Does anyone know what the surname for Catherine's mother is? I'm struggling to read it. Susan *?
-
There is a death on Scotland's people could be a possibility
Catherine McGuire other name Mulligan 1899 St Rollox age 57 mothers maiden name Cosgrove
Rosie

Another son possibility
Edward James Maguire 1882 Blackfriars mothers maiden name Mulligan
Death Edward James Maguire 1884 Calton Glasgow

Is that your tree on Ancestry with Catherine Mulligan mothers name as Susan Cosgrove ?

Is that your tree on Ancestry with Catherine Mulligan mothers name as Susan Cosgrove ?
Rosie
Hi Rosie. Yes, That's mine. I'm trying different surnames for Susan. I think it may be Cosgrove. I posted an image in the thread and the surname does look like Cosgrove.
-
Son Francis was b 1885
A Robert McGuire - mmn Mulligan was born 1879 Lanarkshire
Take care ! - there is another Maguire/ Mulligan family.
Robert McGuire b 1879 Coatbridge - belongs to Patrick Maguire and Roseanne Mulligan
also
Jane McGuire b 1881 Airdrie -- belongs to Patrick Maguire and Roseanne Mulligan
-
1881 census 30 Princes St., Blackfriars
Thomas McGuire 27 general labourer born Ireland
Catherine McGuire 30 born Ireland
Patrick McGuire 4 born Glasgow (*)
Thomas McGuire 7 months born Glasgow (**)
Birth records on SP
(*) Patrick MCGUIRE birth 1877 Blackfriars; Mother - MacLAGHAN
(**) Thomas MCGUIRE birth 1880 Blackfriars; Mother - MALLIGAN
Other possible births you should check out:-
- John McGUIRE 1878 Blackfriars; mother – MALLAGHAN. Died age 2 in 1879 Blackfriars
- Edward James McGUIRE 1882 Blackfriars; mother – MULLIGAN. Died age 3 in 1884 Calton
- Sarah McGUIRE 1883 Blackfriars; mother – MALLIGAN
- Francis John McGUIRE 1885 Blythswood; mother - MULLIGAN
-
When he married in 1876 Thomas Maguire was a widower.
Was his previous marriage in Ireland? Scotland? Elsewhere?
I didn’t see any likely marriage in Ireland.
-
Francis John McGuire is with his Sarah – his sister’s family in 1911 Glasgow.
Sarah McGUIRE married Francis SHIELDS in 1905 Blythswood
That might be a useful record to see whether it says her father is dead or alive.
Sarah died in Glasgow in 1954.
-
Is that your tree on Ancestry with Catherine Mulligan mothers name as Susan Cosgrove ?
Rosie
Hi Rosie. Yes, That's mine. I'm trying different surnames for Susan. I think it may be Cosgrove. I posted an image in the thread and the surname does look like Cosgrove.
I would check the death I mentioned just to make sure it's the person you are looking for

Catherine McGuire other name Mulligan 1899 St Rollox age 57 mothers maiden name Cosgrove
This should tell you if she was a widow, or if her husband Thomas was still living.
There are quite a few possible deaths for Thomas, that you would be best to try and reduce your search time frame.

He has a copy of the marriage 1916: for Francis John McGuire on his tree and father deceased .The father doesn't seem to be on any of the census forms after 1881 checking the death for Catherine 1899 will give information on Thomas if he is still alive

Just for information, but it gives you a timeline to work with.
Baptism of Mary A , 11th April 1847 with parents John and Sally, Analoist.

Correct - which was why I previously suggested the same.

Excellent! Thank you. I did have my great Grandfather Francis John on this census record and wasn't sure who he was living with. Confirms it's his sister and husband.

Faffing about with light and contrast, I read Aughagallon, which may be Aghagallon (civil parish and townland within) - which isn't too far from Annaloist.

When he married in 1876 Thomas Maguire was a widower.
Was his previous marriage in Ireland? Scotland? Elsewhere?
I didn’t see any likely marriage in Ireland.
I had a search through Irish records for Thomas's previous marriage but couldn't find anything which is strange.
(1) Mary Jane Maguire born at 47 (or 117 mistranscribed?) Bentinck Street on 21 September 1874 to Thomas Maguire of 117 Bentinck Street and Jane Mullen:
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/birth_returns/births_1874/03129/2147337.pdf
(2) Death of married labourer's wife Jane Maguire at 72 Bentinck Street on 2 July 1875, which is a match for Thomas' address at the time of his 1876 marriage to Catherine Malligan, Jane Stewart of same address was the informant:
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1875/020616/7233340.pdf
(3) Marriage of Thomas Maguire to Jane Mullen at Aghagallon RC church on 23 May 1871, his address Derryclone townland - again in the vicinity - and his father given as John, a weaver:

This is just a speculative "maybe", so just to note until it can be ruled in or out.
From the Aghagallon RC parish registers, a son Patrick was baptised for a couple called John Maguire and Sarah McMahon on 14 January 1862:
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633070#page/171/mode/1up (left page)
I think Patrick may have been a tailender for this couple, I don't see later children.
A 27 year old Patrick Maguire of Drumaleet married Teresa Collins on 10 February 1891, his father recorded as John, a farmer:
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1891/10657/5883175.pdf
https://www.townlands.ie/antrim/massereene-upper/aghagallon/aghagallon/drumaleet/ (again - in the vicinity)
A 60 year old farmer's wife Sarah Maguire died at Drumaleet on 3 December 1879, a John Maguire of Drumaleet was the informant:
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1879/06501/4871958.pdf
Widower John and son Patrick's family at Drumaleet in 1901:
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Aghagallon/Drumaleet/1002526/
John died at Drumaleet on 14 March 1908:
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1908/05508/4543628.pdf
The names involved aren't uncommon, so as I said, just a punt to look at for now.

Has anyone found any information that could tell me the parents of John Maguire & Sarah McMahon. And Patrick Mallaghan/Mulligan? I also believe his wife to be Susan Cosgrove but not confirmed yet. Thanks
-
Patrick Mallaghan’s death suggests he was born about 1814, but without knowing where he was born, it will be difficult to find a birth.
I haven’t yet found a death for his wife Susan.

Here is the death of Jane Maguire in 1875. Her address is 72 Bentinck Street, which is the same address for Thomas on his marriage.
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1875/020616/7233340.pdf
I can see on one site a Catholic marriage, 25th of May 1871 between Thomas McGuire and Jane Mallon. The parish is Agaghallon.
Looking at Catholic NLI site, I can’t find the marriages but maybe if you search a bit more they will come up.
-
Civil marriage here for Thomas McGuire and Jane Mullen
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1871/11342/8163468.pdf
Hopefully this is Thomas’s first marriage.

So sorry gaffy - I see you have posted this information and even more. Somehow I missed it in the post about the other family.

Not a problem :)

That could be a possibility. I see on Catherine's certificate it is showing as her passing away in the Glasgow Poorhouse. I am trying to find a death certificate for Thomas but not luck as of yet.
-
Yes I did notice Catherine died in the poor house not sure where you live Mitchell Library Glasgow have records might be worth checking to see if Catherine applied for poor relief .There were several deaths for a Thomas McGuire unfortunately not showing mothers maiden name ::)

Yes, I'll get to the Mitchell Library soon to see what I can find. I did get the death certificates for the Thomas McGuires without maiden names but none seem to match him. I've also found a census record from 1901 showing (Francis) John McGuire aged 16 which would match up with my great grandfather. There's also a Sarah McGuire too. But no Thomas.
-
There is this death for a Susan Malaghan in 1888. She died in the workhouse and her residence 7, Francis Street.
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1888/06170/4763606.pdf
I'm not sure how this all fits together, but no. 7 Francis Street is the exact same address where a Thomas Mallaghan died on 10 December 1886, reported in his death registration as a 63 year old dealer by his daughter Catherine Owens:
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1885/06272/4796833.pdf
Looking for that daughter's marriage brings back the following one on 27 January 1874 in St. Mary's, Belfast, for a Catherine Mallaghan, daughter of Thomas a dealer, to a James Owens of 34 Marquis Street (a John Mallaghan was a witness):
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1874/11225/8115096.pdf
And we already know that 34 Marquis Street just happens to be the exact same address where Patrick Mallaghan died on 5 February 1874 (replies 30 and 43).

Thomas is my Great Great grandfather, husband of Catherine.
-
I think I’m with you, Gaffy. It seems a bit complex, doesn’t it.
Here is the parish record of the marriage of Catherine Mallaghan and James Owens. They have been recorded as James Jones and Catherine Mallon but all the other details are correct.
27th January 1874
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633206?locale=en#page/43/mode/1up
This Catherine has a mother Frances. The witness, John Mallaghan has the address Marquis Street.
This does not answer the puzzle about Susan Mallaghan.
Perhaps the two Catherines were cousins and their two fathers brothers.
-
Not sure if I am posting anything new, but here is the death of John Mallaghan in 1875.
He is 31 yrs, an auctioneer of 5 Chapel Lane (see first post) and the informant is Margaret McKeown of 24 Marquis Street.
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1875/020607/7230560.pdf
Margaret McKeown was a witness to both Catherines’ marriages.
-
Gaffy, check out the marriage record for Catherine in the opening post. :)
Sorry, I don't get it. Who is Thomas, how does he fit in to this?
Thomas is my Great Great grandfather, husband of Catherine.
No, not Thomas Maguire, Thomas Mallaghan as in my previous reply #50:
- who died in 1886 at the same address where Susan Mallaghan died in 1888; and
- whose daughter married someone (James Owens) in 1874 living at the same address where Patrick Mallaghan died in 1874.
-
I think Patrick Mallaghan and Thomas Mallaghan were probably brothers. Needs further research to confirm.
This is the death of Patrick, father of Catherine who married Thomas Maguire (from reply #30)
Possible death for Patrick Mallaghan in 1874
Occupation – dealer
Daughter Catherine is informant

Great find, I would never thought of looking under Mallon. It must be something like that, if not brothers, maybe cousins.
OP, the ages and dates indicate that we may already be too far back to find any useful records, this may prove to be a brick wall. I can't see any marriage for Patrick and Susan, nor baptisms for daughters Catherine and Mary. A couple of observations: (1) I noticed other Belfast Mal(l)aghans/Malligans on the go who were all sons of Henry (Edward, Thomas, Peter, Patrick) and who were all dealers or auctioneers or brokers, I wouldn't be surprised if related back in time; (2) a quick check of older ones with this surname in the 1901 Ireland Census shows a cluster in the Ballymena area and others pointing back to counties Tyrone and Londonderry, so Patrick and ancestors might have been blow ins to Belfast.

I can see a transcription of a baptism at St. Mary's Belfast on 20 May 1883 for a Mary Jane "Marran" for parents Robert "Marran" and Mary "Monaghan" of 5 Chapel Lane (there's that address again), the sponsor was Mary McCormick, I wonder if this is a mistranscription of Robert Morrow and Mary Malaghan? Unfortunately, not available to view on the NLI RC parish records website. Can't see a civil registration either. I was hoping to track Robert and Mary forward, for example, to see them in the 1901 Ireland Census (Mary's birth place would be nice to see).
Anyhow, here are some listings for Chapel Lane in the Belfast Street Directory:
1880: 5 Malaghan, Mrs., green grocer
1884: 5 Monaghan, Susan

Henry Mallaghan died 1890 (age 80) Auctioneer, Lodge Road (informant son Peter)
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1890/06119/4746956.pdf
Henry was in Belfast working as an auctioneer from at least 1850 when he was in Hercules Street
Henry was married to Mary (nee Campbell) who died 12 Nov 1889.
Sons Peter - civil birth registration 1865
Other sons mentioned in his Will – Cornelius (1860-1892) and Patrick (born abt 1862; married Elizabeth Fisher in 1899).
Working on ages (approx. births), I think this Henry Mallaghan may have been brother to your Patrick Mallaghan (1814-1874) and to Thomas Mallaghan (1822-1886) – all auctioneer / dealers.
-
That sounds reasonable. I've pretty well exhausted what I can find on the Mal(l)aghans (first time I've looked into this surname), so unless someone else can turn up something, the brothers idea may remain a hypothesis.
