Have you information on the Hannan's.  I'm looking for George, his parents etc.

I should likely be asking you this question under the topic Hannan instead of here, but....

Unfortunately Violet had died before the census revealing how many children she had.Mary was named for probate in her mother's will. Have you a copy of that will to see the names of her children? I am still hoping that Catherine born Uk is a sister of Mary and Annie. Did Mary have any other Christian names? The start of this thread has info on George.

This is the 1901 census for the Mac Eoighans which might be of interest to you. Have you seen Violet and George's marriage cert from Glasgow, 1877. Mary Mc Keown married in Jan 1890 so she had to be born before George and Violet married. And if Cathrine is older than Mary.... and I wonder whatever happened to Hugh (Mc)Gill from Violet's 1st marriage in Glasgow in 1862?

This might help with confirming some of the info you have both found. From the US 1870 census at Troy Ward 6, Rensselaer, New York:

George Hannon 31 labourer b. Ireland
Violet Hannon 31 b. Scotland
Hugh Hannon 7 b. Scotland
Catharine Hannon 2 b. England

Many thanks for the extra help. I found another child of Violet and Bernard's relationship.. Bridget MeGill b26 February 1863 Rutherglen, Lanark. This was the same year as the death of Bernard. I have yet to find any other info on Bridget. This info was found on Family Search.

I think Bridget may have died as a baby - there is a death entry showing in Rutherglen for a Bridget MeGill, mother's surname Riggs, in 1863 (b. 1863).

Mary Hannon, was her birthday in August, as there is a Mary Hannon born August 1874 in New York.
