Thomas Connor of Bridgeton.

[Dundee]

Thomas' father Owen was married twice, first wife was Ann Hoy, I presume they married in Ireland and had Thomas before they moved to Glasgow, second wife was Elizabeth Boyd who is the mother of the rest of the children, all born in Glasgow. place and date of marriage, 1873, High Church Glasgow.

You can see from the 1871 census and the ages of the children that Ann is the mother of Patrick and Mary.  The birth certs should give a date and place of marriage.

Thomas is 11 in 1871 and 16 in 1881, how old did he say he was when he married the first time?  What religion were they?

The 1873 death you found, Doch (1873 - 644 / 1 / 1294 - Glasgow Central District) is very likely the correct one. The two surnames indexed for this death are CONNOR and HOEY.

From Owen's death reg, father you mention was Thomas. What was the maiden name of his mother? Have you double checked the name on  Owen's marriage reg to Elizabeth. Often better the marriage than the death for accuracy!

What religion were they?

I think RC, Debra. There is a burial entry for Owen on the RC index on SP at Dalbeth Cemetery. Added: Although can't see any marriage or baptism entries so far.

You mentioned finding possible brother Thomas who died in 1923 in Bridgeton.

There is one other death. Possibly a sister:

Catherine CONNER
43
Mother's maiden name WINTERS
1899
644 / 1 / 982
Bridgeton

There is no second surname indexed so possibly unmarried?

Thanks Debra,
I bought the birth cert for Patrick and it shows Owens marriage to Ann Hoy as Co Monaghan.

That's Owens sister alright Monica, on her death cert she is named as Catherine Mcoll.
The story is starting to come together now,
My G/Grandparents, James Docherty and Margaret Gallagher were married in 1879,
Margarets parents are listed as Daniel Gallagher, Farmer, and Ellen Gallagher M.S.Connor.
Witnesses to the marriage were, Owen Connor and Bridget Mcoll,
Thanks to the 1921 Census I found out my G/Grand father was from Derry and my G/Grandmother was from Cornamucklagh Co Monaghan.
I was able to trace the Gallaghers to the 1901 Irish Census where Daniel Gallagher was still living with his son Hugh in Cornamucklagh,
I'd like to find out if the Gallaghers and the Connors are from the same or near townlands in Co Monaghan.
I'll park it here for the night as my brain is starting to scramble,
Thanks again for your time and knowledge.
 Regards, John.

Birth cert for Mary Connor gives place of marriage as 1859 Castle Blaney, Co Monaghan,
Castle Blaney is a town close to Cornamucklagh,
I had another look at Patricks birth cert, there is a word before Co Monaghan but i can't quite make it out, i might post it in the Hand Writing board later.

 I think we're very close to a conclusion on this search.
