Conway family history

[Andrea78]

Hi there, have been trying to put together a family tree for my new son and am wondering if anyone can help with details of my maternal grandmothers family. I am new to this and not sure exactly what information is needed but will try to give as much as possible. My grandmothers name was Patricia Conway b:28th nov 1923, her parents were Charles conway b: 14 nov 1903 and Mary Horn b:  13 March 1905.  Anything further that could be found out would be greatly appreciated - thankyou

Hello Andrea

Have downloaded the marriage entry for Charles and Mary.  They married on 13 Sept  1923.

He was 19 she - 18.  He was a shipwright and she a Shirt maker.  Both single -

Parents.Patrick Conway a Stone cutter and Mary Catherine Conway (Ms McEvoy)

Thomas Horn, Shipyard labourer and Elizabeth Horn (MS McCusken?).  All parents alive.

By far the tidiest and neatest entry - with even the home addresses of the witnesses on it.

Shall send you a pm about how to go about research in Scotland.  If you pm me with your e-mail address I'll forward it to you.

Regards,   Steve   :O)  .

Has anyone had any luck finding Susan Conway wife of Robert Austin Thomson AKA Bertie o' The Celtic. im still desperately trying to trace what became of her she is my maternal great gran.

Bertie could this be your Susan............

That looks like a good possibility for Susan's details, garngad.

Some bio details here on Robert/Bertie Thomson www.thecelticwiki.com/page/Thomson%2C+Robert

bertieoftheCeltic, if you check the original registration certificate images that garngad mentions above from Scotlands People, you should be able to confirm all the necessary details on your g grandmother, Susan.

There is a burial entry showing on SP in 1940 for a Susan Thomson, aged 20 (this must be an error given the death registration showing her as aged 30?).

2/4/1940
Lair
Glasgow, St Peter's Dalbeth Cemetery

However, from that celticwiki page, Robert Thomson was buried at Abbey Cemetery, Elderslie www.findagraveinscotland.com/grave/famousGrave/77894

hi there,
thanks for the reply this is My susan for sure as the marriage details are correct! im having difficulty finding anything to do with her at all so this death entry will be good to get a look at. Thank you so much. so it seems she passed within 3 years of her husband..as far as we knew our gran didn't know what happened to her mother...
