John McCormick/ McCormack

[brigcs]

Thank you for your kind reply. That’s certainly the John I am looking for. Susan Harley disappeared from John’s life. As yet I haven’t found a death. He married Rosina Frost in Edinburgh in 1917. My task of the moment is trying to take him back from his parents as my MIL has many DNA matches that clearly match her father.

Best wishes and thank you again.

Good evening.

I might’ve had a break through with this family tonight but try as I might I can’t find marriages or births as evidence.

I have found an Annie McCormick born Dec 1904 in a tree. No parents are given but she goes on to have a daughter Marjorie Harley Breen. JohnMcCormick’s first wife was Susan Harley. The daughter then married somebody who had a child that is a strong DNA match to my Mum-in-law. Can anyone see Annie in Co. Donegal?  I am hoping to find siblings. They could’ve been in Scotland and certainly ended up in England.

Many thanks for any help you can give me.

Thank you. That’s definitely the family. I am trying to do 2 things.
1.Work out the parents of Denis McCormick and his wife Mary Mulherin
2. Find out what happened to their son John after he married Susan Harley. I think I have found that they had a daughter Annie in 1904 but can’t find her birth, or anything about her until 1939.

I am struggling with Donegal, Scotland and England in the mix.

Many thanks.

Maybe tell us what you found out 'about her'?

I think it's possible Annie could be her middle name i.e. Mary Ann?...

Marriage Dec 1930 Breen Leslie A A - Mary McCormick  Liverpool 8b 254

* Birth of a/their daughter - Dec 1937 B***n M******* H - McCormick (mms) Kettering (Northampton) 3b 170

* Possibly still living

Annie

Annie,

That Breen/McCormick family remain in the Liverpool area.

1939 register shows the family brigcs refers to and there are birth/marriage and death records for Marjorie Harley Breen.

If Marjorie is of the right family, there is a published tree showing the first child was born in 1936 and the parents were William Breen and Annie McCormick.

There is no birth or marriage information shown for them.

Thank you so much Annie and Heywood. That’s the family I am investigating. I came across them almost by accident yesterday late in the day and never thought of Annie as Mary Ann. I might well have found my Mum-in-law a half sister. Today’s task is to find out if John McCormick and Susan Harley had more children. Strangely the first child of his second marriage was also a Mary.

Heywood, is the tree on Ancestry?

Again many thanks to you both.

There is a Birth here - Annie McCormick 1905 - date doesn’t match birth date shown on the Annie Breen records.
Father is Peter McCormick and mother ‘Magey’  Harley

I can’t see them in 1911 nor a marriage at the moment.

However, if John and Susan are definitely your family, this won’t be your Annie.
