Hi K - Joseph and Mary married in 1897 must be my grandparents.  I'll try to investigate this further.  How I wish I had asked all these questions when my grandparents were alive.  This is a lot more than I knew.  Thanks so much.

Hi K...the quick answer is that I don't know.  Both my grandfather and grandmother were married twice.  I don't know the maiden or surname of his first wife.  His second wife's name was Elizabeth but she came from Scotland.  He seems to have travelled back and forth from Ireland to Scotland quite a bit and his family came from North Belfast, i.e. Lewis Street and then Keadyville Avenue.  The family eventually lived in Jellicoe Avenue which was purpose-built housing for WW1 veterans.  My great-grandfather was a boilermaker and my grandfather a plumber.  My grandfather had a lot of brothers and sisters but they either died young or emigrated. Hope this is understandable and thanks for your quick reply.

Regards...Liz H

My grandfather was James McNerlin born in 1893 in?  His brother Joseph was married to the lady M McNerlin who owned the confectioners on the Shore Road in Belfast.  I'm starting to trace our family tree and currently am making enquiries re grandfather's WW1 war record as he served in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers hoping this will give us his origins.  As he had no sons the name is now redundant for our branch of the family.  If anyone has any info I'd be delighted to hear from them.
