MCCafferty Family Glasgow

[Jonathan Kelly]

I have difficulty locating a few children of James McCafferty (born Stranorlar Co Donegal) and Ann McCafferty (nee Mailey/O'Malley, born Convoy Co Donegal).   Their children were as follows: James b 1877, Margaret Ann Barr 1877-1946, John b 1883, Catherine b 1884 d 1885, Mary b 1886, Elizabeth McKeown 1886-1952, Bernard 1888-1889, Michael b 1892 d 1972 married Rose Ann Gillan.  I have further details on their families if anyone wants them.  I have nothing on James, John and Mary.  Their mother Ann McCafferty died 30/11/1925 aged 70, cannot locate death cert for James, have exhausted all avenues via scotlandspeople.  They lived in Gourlay Place, Garngadhill, Rosemount Street.  Other names associated were Queen, Gillan, Ward, Banks, Timoney, McAvoy, McAuley & Barr. Any assistance appreciated.

When mother Ann died in 1925, did it show her husband as alive or deceased?

What about from the children's marriage certs, what showed for their father on the registrations?

When Ann died in 1925, was she a widow? Who was the informant at her death?

Possible death for James (senior)
MCCAFFERY   JAMES   70      1918   644/5 377   Garngadhill

Possible death for James (junior)
MCCAFFERTY   JAMES   42      1917   644/5 536   Garngadhill


There is a John McCafferty born 17 Oct 1883 in Glasgow who takes out USA Naturalization in June 1918.
His occupation is Marine Fireman. Not married. Arrived New York April 1908. Last address London.

Hi Monica,  I had Theresa just forgot to include her.  Thank you.  When Ann died in 1925 her son Michael was the informant, yet on her death cert it stated "married to James McCafferty", but on the 1911 census she is listed was WR (widow), the James McCaffery who died in 1918 aged 70 is not him either.  The man in 1917 is neither of the James's either.  My only guess is James snr came back to Donegal and died here, there is one match but can't confirm it's him or not.  I'm making headway but not much with the ones that married, especially Elizabeth who married McKeown.

Jonathan, don't know if you have a subs to Ancetry. There is a family tree for Elizabeth McCafferty/McKeown www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/154283942/person/102061940057/facts

It shows at least 4 children for her with John McKeown following their marriage in 1907.

Am on ancestry but need to pay a fee to access that info for the link you sent.  Can you access it?  Elizabeth had 7 children that I could find.
