Clonmellon Comaskeys

I have a birth certificate of my great grandmother Margaret Anne Cumiskey born in 18/5/1886 to Frank Cumiskey  and Anne Phillips in Clonmellon, I'm a newcomer to this any help would be appreciated

As far as I know Margaret Anne was the eldest of Anne & Frank Cumiskey's children but I've never been able to trace her descendants.  She would have been my great aunt.  I'd love to see a copy of her birth certificate and to know who she married, where she lived, and who were her children etc.  I have a tree on ancestry which I'll happily share with you which will show her siblings and aunts & uncles.  I hope this will give you a good start in your family history.  Do you have any other information about Frank & Anne; particularly Frank's father Patrick?

Hi Scott

Thanks for your last post.  Did Margaret Anne and John remain in Glasgow?  Was Frank the eldest child born somewhere between 1908 & 1911?  I'm trying to find them in 1911 census and the work forward to sort out children.

cheers

Hi Scott
Let me know if you continue to have problems sending your files.  Do you have my personal email?  I can always sort out a dropbox folder or similar to which you can upload them.
Thanks for this additional info.  I presume Jack was your grandfather John.
Also are all these families, other than Joseph who moved to Wales, based in Glasgow/Scotland?  I ask because I find Scotlandspeople website a struggle to use effectively without spending large amounts chasing red herrings!  Unfortunately there are really no real alternatives when researching Scottish families.
Hopefully my Ancestry tree will give you a good start on your Cumiskey links.  Sadly I think you may find your Welsh family history a bigger challenge as it seems to be a common name in Glasgow.  That said, I can tell you that your great grandfather John had a brother Alexander who had a wife Jeanie and daughter Catherine (1901 census for Commerce Street Glasgow).
