stuck for a birth

[suzi600]

My Gt Grandfather John McHugh born Co Mayo 1854/5 wed Jane Brannen (late Scott) 1895 in Wigan and they are both widowed . Now for ages I have looked for marriage info on John and found a maybe . I am using Lancashire  B.M.D. , she is Mary Sweeney from Leigh , the marriage is in 1874 Leigh and a death in 1895 when she was 38 . I have also found a birth in Leigh in 1858 with mother`s maiden name of Conlon but not anywhere else to confirm . Any ideas welcome

Have you found John in 1881 & 1891 census to see if he is married and who his wife is?

What was John's father's name and occupation on 1895 m/c to Jane Brannen?

Do you know both his parents names?

He could have married in Ireland have you tried searching https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

This could well be John on 1901 & 1891 census with mother in law Bridget SWEENEY and married to Mary

Isn’t he with Jane though in 1901?
Or should that be - is he with Jane in 1901?

Yes he is on 1901 census with wife Jane

Walter Scott 16 Stepson
John Scott 13 Stepson
Mary Scott 11 Stepdaughter
Cath Mc Hugh 5 Daughter
Ann Gorton 58 Sister-in-law

So doubtful that John’s first wife is Mary Sweeney as they are together on 1891 census and mother in law Bridget Sweeney is with them and then widowed John appears on 1901 c with his 4 children and sister Mary - edit to add and this John McHugh was born in Leigh Lancashire not Ireland

Stuck for a birth - whose birth are we supposed to be looking for?

The 1895 marriage cert is on a family tree, John is aged 40, a coal miner, father Patrick is deceased and a general labourer.  His address was 21 Letterewe Street, Wigan.
