Renfrewshire / Re: Looking for Descendants of William John Rennie and Margaret Kennedy
« on: Monday 10 September 12 14:02 BST (UK) »
janceyb87 you are correct in stating that Mary (Ann) and Hugh are children of William John Rennie/Margaret Kennedy.
Mary and Mary (Ann) are definitely different people.
Mary Ann went back to Ireland with most other family members some time between 1901 and 1906. Her brother James and his family remained in Scotland.
She Married Robert McGrath in Dervock 06 Aug 1906 and two children were born there: Hugh McGrath b. 03 Dec 1906 and Margaret Kennedy McGrath b. 27 Feb 1908.
In Oct. 1948 Mary Ann McGrath emigrated to NY with her nephew Hugh Morgan to stay with her daughter, by then Margaret Kennedy McGrath Stinnett, 97th. Street, New York, NY.
Her son Hugh went to the USA in Oct. 1929 - they all died in the States.
Mary Ann Rennie McGrath is buried with her brother Daniel Rainey near Philadelphia, PA where he was killed in an accident at work in Philadelphia in 1910. The name spelling changed with time, and some of the family could neither read nor write, which probably exacerbated that situation.
Ellen (May) Rennie married a Robert Woodside in Gourock Episcopal church 01 Dec 1899.
He and Daniel Rennie/Rainey went to Philadelphia in 1901, where Robert died in 1906 before his wife and son Robert could join him.
Ellen (May) remarried widower James Morgan in Dervock about 1913. They had two children, Jane and Hugh.
Ellen died in Dervock about 16 Oct 1922 and is buried in the Derrykeighan parish Church of Ireland graveyard in the village.
William John Rennie and his wife may both have died in Dervock but I have no solid information to back that up.
By the way, I am Ellen May's grandson, and am attempting to piece the various branches of the family together. I have a public family tree on ancestry.com
