Hello.

On SP there is a death for a Ellen Jane Allan age 27 other surname O'Donnell ... but it's in Ayrshire

ALLAN
   
ELLEN JANE
27
1941
597/ 368
Kilmarnock (Ayr)

O'DONNELL
   
ELLEN JANE
   
27
   
1941
597/ 368
Kilmarnock (Ayr)

I couldn't find any for Clydebank. Did you have a look at this one? Pardon me if it's wrong. I've had relatives from Glasgow that passed in Ayrshire while visiting family.

I see their wedding doc which you likely already have?

ALLAN
   
JOHN
   
O'DONNELL
   
ELLEN JANE
1935
501/ 40
Old or West Kilpatrick

Surely her parents would be mentioned in those docs? You would think.Pending that actually being the correct Ellen of course...

Thank you very much I will delve into these and have a look, it’s actually my grandad there sons funeral in the morning my grandad was 4 when she passed away this would make him 3 but there’s a high chance it may well be and he was a year out I was hoping to run find out info for him but the rest of the family will be interested if this is the lead.

Thank you again

Sorry for your loss. I hope the docs pan out for you and bear good clues.

I get the feeling she was born in Scotland but of course could be and often am wrong...

O'DONNELL
   
ELLEN
   
F
1915
652/2 1190
Coatbridge or Old Monkland

The first two docs should be revealing.

Definitely born Ireland when she died my grandad and his dad went to live there with her brother and parents he said he remembered that.
Thank you I best get this phone away as long day tomorrow and early start thanks for your help greatly appreciate it

There was an Ellen Jane O’Donnell born in Castlefin in 1914, which ties in with the age on the death certificate. Parents were James O'Donnell & Ellen Gallagher.

You obviously need to look at the 1935 Scottish marriage certificate to see if the parents names match. If it is the right family, this is them in 1911:

There was a son William born 9.10.1909. He must have died pre 1911. Note that there was a brother Patrick which fits with your information. He was born 10.3.1903 in Tievebrack.

Family in 1901:
