Hi Guys,
My wife's grandmother Margaret McGlynn married John Patton in Belfast on 2 Jan 1922. She died 6 Feb 1979 (in Cork) reportedly aged 81.
My questions are - Where & when was she born & who here her parents?
At the risk of starting with some red herrings, here's what I see:-
A Mgt McGlynn was born in the Belfast Workhouse on 7 July 1898. That Mgt McGlynn had sisters born in the workhouse on 24 October 1887 (Mary & Isabella), 6 June 1890 (Unknown, I think Ann) and maybe 25 May 1886 (Elizabeth, unverified).
Isabella married Edward Clarkin (1905) and Henry Cullinan (1914). A Henry Cullinan was John Patton's best man in 1922. At her 1905 marriage, Isabella said her Dad John was dead.
Ann married Bruce Morton (1913).
In 1920, Mgt had a daughter in Belfast that died at 2 months, Mgt Mary. Per cert, baby's aunt was stated to be Isabella Cullinan.
Q1 - Is my wife's GGM the Mgt born on 7 July 1898?
Q2 - Who were her parents? I've followed some tangled & probably incorrect lines on her mother, also Isabella but I won't confuse anybody by repeating them here.
As for Isabella's husband John, I don't know when he died & he might or might not be the father. I'd like to identify that John McGlynn & then see if any DNA links stack up.
Sincere thanks for any help.
