Hi, does anyone share this surname?  My family are from Bridgeton, Glasgow but originally from Donegal, Ireland. Any info is welcomed, thanks

Hi dlt

Welcome to RootsChat 

How far back have you managed to trace your family so far? It is always good to add some specific dates and names. Please note that RootsChat is not a forum to trace or discuss living people or events which are relatively recent. If anyone does have current details on living family, the best way to contact is via the Private Message service (PMs).

You don't give a lot of information - names dates.
   I have never come across a McGlynn coming from Bridgeton who appears on census but a Daniel McGlynn married a Mary Ann Leslie in St Mary's, Abercrombie St on 26 Nov 1874.  She came from Barrowfield Toll, Orr St.
Born 1853 and died on 27 Nov 1916.
    Perhaps your McGlynns came from Donegal after the turn of the century.

Is this the Dave McGlynn of the Mcglynnfamily.co.uk site which is now down? If so;
1. That was a very good site what happened?

Thanks

Hi pwrtgioln

Welcome to RootsChat 

I don't know unfortunately what may have happened to the website you mention. Dave McGlynn who has posted here has not been back on line. Hopefully he will see the notification email regarding recent posts here and can answer your question as to whether he is connected to the site you mention.

Interesting comments.
I did have a site "mcglynnfamily.co.uk" but let it lapse as they changed the software for uploading to the site and I used different scripts.
      I have much more information since then and have been meaning to set up another site but keep getting side-tracked looking at other McGlynns.
      If your Bridgeton McGlynn was Mary Ann Leslie she ended up being taken off the streets in Johnstone by the police on 25 Oct 1916; age 64; and died on 27 Nov 1916 in the Poor House.  She had suffered from debility due to a liking for alcohol.  The reason her husband and children left her.  Daniel her husband, and most of the family went to America.
      There is a lot more to Daniel's family if that is who your're looking for.
If it it another Mcglynn in the Glasgow area or in the Northern Hemisphere in the Victorian Era I can maybe help, although I have just started on England from the north-east.  Most American Immigrants and references to other census material in America and Ireland though again that is a long term work that at 64 I may never complete. 
     If you wish  a copy of the McGlynn origins I can e-mail it to you in "word".
tell me what you have and I will see what I can do.
