Mary Connolly and John Connolly (both servants) Coleraine

[AlistairH]

Hi All

Thanks for all the great info here. My grandmother was Catherine Conley (or Connoly) Mary Conley's sixth child.
I'd like to say I had lots of family information but I don't, virtually everything I have picked up is from the various geneology sites.

From what I can determine Martha & James Spence, Catherine Connoly & James Conley or Hemphill (Jeannie's son) must have moved to Greenock sometime after Martha & James wedding in 1912 & before or during  1915.

The 1921 Scotland Census lists Martha's son Jas aged 13 & having been born in Belfast, if we can rely in this information, it has my grandmother as Kathleen & born in Renfrewshire, then I think his birth certificate might be found here.

There is no giiven name & from what I can gather 51 Lisburn road was a Workhouse and Infirmary and maternity hospital  but I'm sure you will have much more accurate information than me.

Welcome to Rootschat 

It's hard to know if the Belfast birth is for the correct James as earlier census in Ireland says born Co. Derry (although I was unable to find the certificate in Coleraine or surrounding area).

Have you done DNA testing? if so, I suspect I might known more than a few of your matches

No I have not done any DNA testing, I think I quite like leaving an element of doubt.   
There may actually have been more that you know since another branch of my tree appears to go back to a Susan McMullin of Aghadowey
