I found the Baptism of Margaret's mother. She was known as Isabella McGlenon, baptised in Downpatrick 9 May 1856. DNA ties in with her sister Elizabeth who married Patrick Brunton in Belfast. The McGlenon name became McGlinn in Elizabeth's case.

Now for the hard part - find Margaret's father. Relying on DNA. Wish me luck.

Thanks aghadowey & all other contributors.
Thanks especially for the Isabella McGlynn death cert. If you can send it to me that would be fabulous.
One Question at this point. Do you think McGlynn was Isabella's birth name or by marriage?

Could I buy the full Court report somewhere?

Wow. Thanks aghadowey - Court case is news to me.
And Barbour Street makes it our John Patton.

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.

Thanks aghadowey.
I'm trying to identify my wife's great grandparents, to complete a family tree & hang it on the wall.
This thread was about her other grandparents, so that I can narrow down her DNA matches.
I'll put up my core question shortly, hoping that I haven't already imposed too much on your expertise.

Fabulous work guys. Thank you.
The Church record of the baptism of Agnes answers my question about James & Anne having a daughter Agnes. The ages tie in too. Add in the description of her father as a farmer (on her marriage cert) and the later appearance of Charles Caldwell in Richard Patton's census and it all holds together.

I hope I can call on your expertise again when I formulate my next (harder) question.

A helpful document.
Is there any advice for persons planning a visit to examine the admission & discharge books. I'm trying to find the identity of a married lady who had either 3 or 4 kids in the Belfast Workhouse 1886 to 1898.
Is there a need to order doc's in advance or to flag what you want to see?
Is there a charge? Can 2 people work together examining different records...?
Any advise at all really - I don't want to make the trip & be told I should have done X.

Alternatively, are there local researchers who would take on a search for a fee?

Thanks Guys. Nothing clear there about Agnes's birth. A DNA link suggests that Agnes may be a sister of John Caldwell who married Isabella McGinn in Belfast on 4 July 1909. Father there was James Caldwell, a labourer.
Would you all agree that the John married in 1909, age 21, is the John Joseph (born 1888) linked by Softly Softly? Can anyone read his mothers name? Maguire??
