McGlynn Family

[dave McGlynn]

For Sancti,
    The John McGlynn (28) in Camlachie will be from Kilteevogue and related to John McGlynn in Argyle St, Maryhill (on the same census).  He was instumental in placing many McGlynn 'cousins' in the railway before he was killed in an accident at Jordanhill Station.  The relationship of these McGlynns can only be shown in linear form as McGlynn marries McGlynn and they are very often 2nd or 3rd cousins. It's taken me years and I have hundreds of inter-related Mcglynns in the Finn Valley and Donegal in general.

Dave , I have an Ann McGlynn in my family , wonder if you  have her on your files.
Ann McGlynn  b Ireland  1835  m Michael Gilhooley b Ireland 1835.
Ann`s parents were Patrick McGlynn, labourer and Ann Early.  Michael`s parents were Michael Gilhooley  ,Labourer.and Catherine Ryan
I think they all came from Ireland. Ann and Michael living in Dunbar , East Lothian , Scotland on 1871 census.
I have been trying to find out which part of Ireland they came from.I  don`t have a marriage date.I would be grateful for any information you may have

Boston14,
       I came to this post from my e-mail over an hour ago.   The name Gilhooley does not ring a bell but 'Ann Early' does; but I can't remember why or if it will help you.   I'll have another look although I've looked at Scot, Ireland, Northern Eng, and America with no luck.
       This may be of help or you may recognise some of these names.  In 1861 there was a John McGlynn and his brother Patrick in Dunbar and another Patrick McGlynn. They are all born in Ireland about 1835 and arrived in the area as single men prob' about 1857/8 and your Gilhooley bride may have been a sister.  I think they were there to work on the sea wall.
      Both Patrick's married in Haddington, West Lothian which may give you a channel of thought.  There are many McGlynns who may appear on census or other documents or not at all. 
      There was a great deal of movement between the lower Scot east coast and Northumberland but I found nothing there.  One Patrick married Elizabeth (Bessey) McGuire and the other Mary Callaghan. 
          So I'm afraid not much help as the family may have been itinerant farm workers or railway labourers who very rarely appeared on census.
        If I come across anything I will post it.
               PS.   If they were born in Ireland look to Leitrim or Roscommon.
                  regards Dave.

         Many thamks for this . I had no idea that there were other McGlynns in Dunbar .The names are consistent with the details I have .The families were Catholic ,and I believe they would be married in Haddington , East Lothian,as there is a Catholic Church in Haddington.My GG Grandparents were married there in 1875.The sea wall possibly would be at the Victoria Harbour which would be new at that time.
I would be very grateful if you find anything else.
Much obliged
Evelyn

Evelyn, glad to be of help,
                      I have not looked at the East Coast of Scotland in depth.  Last year travelled to Newcastle and Liverpool with little fortune.  Libraries talk a good game for amateur research.
          I would like to know what you have and would contact you if somebody came with similar request.  I've looked to "google" in case I came across the name Anne Early on another site - but no.  It is not a name that I've looked at but is familiar (as were the other names you mentioned) but I can't put a line on it.  Will keep it in mind while I'm working on a couple of Donegal names.
          Read this carefully . I Did have a site called McGlynn Family.com but let it drop.  I used the Dell e-mail address of "@myway.com" but because it was shown on the web-site it attracted people in Nigeria who wanted to improve my life, and SA who had found dead relatives.  I put more security on it and eventually locked myself out.  It has just been released again and I have taken back the name *. 
    Contact me and I will give you you full Victorian Census details for Scotland of McGlin/Glinn/Glynn/Lynn etc with many not on official records.  The info' you give me may assist joining others of families. I also have all recorded Irish McGlynns with notes on quite a few; emigration; Magfhloin in America with notes; which may assist you if you had some of the family move at the same time.  Assuming you have names.
                   looking forward to hearing from you,    (or others)
                            Regards, Dave

 I'm searching for information on  Charles McGlynn [born in Donegal c. 1870] who married Mary Harkin [born Corderry, Churchill, Co. Donegal] in Bothwell, Lanark in 1902. I'm attempting to discover his siblings, his parents and his original homeplace. It is very difficult as he worked in Scotland and on their return, the family stayed with the Harkins (Mary's family) so it is virtually impossible to decipher which of the many McGlynn families in the Finn Valley to Glenties area they are linked with. The witness at their wedding was a Patrick McGlynn (presumably a brother/uncle/cousin) and charles' father is listed as Patrick [may also be Peter]also (farmer, deceased by 1902).

Anna,
       It is not obvious. There was a family of McGlynn in that area and I've not really looked at for many years.  Charles and Patrick feature and I think a Mark (unusual; but maybe CofI).  Mark and Patrick were just south of Letterkennny but had move out of the cattle business by the 1850's.  That's not to say their family were not still involved in Letterkenny Town.  I'd have to look at that as it's only a memory.  However I'm sure this family are related bros' of the McGlynn in Gortmacollbeg just to the north. It is a family in the Renfrewshire area as well.  Also America.
      Please read the last message about my last e-mail address at *.
You can have all the McGlynn in 1901 in Scot and Donegal with notes.  From what you know we might get your family.  If not you'll get some good reading.
                   Looking forward to hearing from you and hope I can help,
                                        Dave.

To Dave McGlynn:
This is my first attempt to use RootsChat -- hope it works.  I am trying to obtain a copy of Chapters 2 and 3 of your McGlynn Family History that was on the internet several years ago, and was sorry to find the site inactive.  Is there any way to get a copy of this?  I have found the few pages I have to be most informative, but it is incomplete.  Thanks for your assistance.

Does the Bothwell marriage certificate give his parent's names?

When did he return to Glenties?
