Good evening everyone,

I am looking into my Paternal x4 Grandparents, John Gribbin/Gribbon & Ellen Mallon/Jane Hunter, their daughter was my Great x3 Grandmother Mary Gribbin/Gribbon who I believe was baptised in Aghagallon, Northern Ireland in 1842, I have the Death record of Mary Gribbin/Gribbon located in Gourock, Scotland in 1904 with the Smithston Asylum, where her father is listed as John Gribbin/Gribbon, while the mother is listed as Jane Hunter, and Marys age is listed as 62, which would mean she was born around 1842, the Informant on the death record was an asylum attendant, not one of her family members, while I have a baptism record in Aghagallon in 1842 for a Mary Jane Gribbin baptised in January, parents listed as John Gribbin & Ellan Mallon, so the Mothers are listed with different names on each record, I also have John and Ellan marrying in the parish in 1828, 14 years before Mary would have been baptised, but I am putting that down to her being one of the last children who were born into that family, would it be sensible to discard Jane Hunter as the name of the Mother, and presume Ellen Mallon is the real name of Mary Gribbin/Gribbons mother? If you also believe that this is not the same Mary Gribbin, please let me know

Kind regards,
Jake

My apologies, yes, that is the 1861 Census

Hello everyone I had a look back at the 1921 Census report including a John & Mary Cassidy in Greenock, just to make sure everything looked in line with what I said, it says that they live in 6 West Stewart Street, which corresponds I believe to the Death Location of John Cassidy in 1926, so I almost certain it is my John & Mary Cassidy (McIntyre) and as you can see it does have John as being born in "Derry" and Mary being born in Moville, Donegal, but seeing as everyone is in agreement that Mary and family are actually from Co Londonderry, perhaps it is the wrong way round? it also mentioned that John's occupation was sugarhouse Labourer, and his occupation on his death record was sugarhouse worker, so must be him.

Thank you again so much to everyone that is providing very useful information that I had no clue about, I really appreciate it, now I at least have a rough location where Mary is from, along with her siblings and parents. When I look at the Baptism for Mary McIntyre, it to me looks as if the parents names are listed as Thomas McIntyre and Catharine/Catherine Docherty, which would play into the theory that she was baptised into John Cassidy's faith after their Church of Scotland wedding, seeing as the kids are all Catholic as well, interesting that my Great x2 Grandfather James Cassidy is not on the baptism list as he was born in 1877 in Greenock, but perhaps his was elsewhere

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me uncover information on my Maternal Cassidy side, my Great x3 Grandfather John Cassidy married my Great x3 Grandmother Mary McIntyre, in Greenock 1873, John Cassidy is said to have been born in Ireland, to John Cassidy, who was a soldier, and Elizabeth McLaughlin, sometime in the early 1850s (as per his death certificate in 1926 Greenock, his parents are not listed on his marriage certificate) I would be very appreciative for anything regarding him, or his parents, as I’m rather stuck , not entirely sure if he himself was Protestant or Catholic, but his marriage to Mary McIntyre was a Catholic ceremony, I’m not too sure about Mary McIntyre, as I have a baptism record in 1852 in Greenock ( which would match her age on the marriage record ) and her parents are listed as Thomas McIntyre and Catherine Docherty (same as marriage record) but her death record in 1928 has parents listed as William McIntyre and Mary Docherty, and then a census record I believe showing them in 1921 on Greenock shows John to be born in Londonderry and Mary to be born in Movile, Donegal.

Kind regards,
Jake
