1911 possibilities I think Martha looks to have been working away from home on the 1911 census, whilst daughter Kathleen and son James were being taken care of by her mother Mary. Both entries in Coleraine:Kathleen and James - www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002807848/Martha - www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002805382/Worth noting that mother Mary on that first entry is showing both as a widow and having been only married for 10 years, with 6 living children resulting from the marriage.Monica
Going through my files and online sources and have found lots more information and some of it might be quite a surprise. Still typing it up and will post later.Quote from: MonicaL on Tuesday 25 June 24 20:27 BST (UK) I see also the problem with the link on www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ to a possible 1912 marriage for Martha to James Spence. Has anyone reported it on the site?Not sure what the problem mentioned is but I was able to bring up the marriage without any bother-https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1912/09918/5605139.pdf

I do have lots more details, much of what corrects the errors on two different sites, but will not bother posting anymore until Jennmbell has commented (she has been online several times but what I've posted so far is a lot to take in).
Quote from: MonicaL on Wednesday 26 June 24 10:58 BST (UK) There certainly was a problem up to yesterday with that link taking you to another couple's marriage.I did report the problem yesterday on site. Blown away if it has been corrected that quickly!Monica Wonder if it was the way we searched? I used James Spence and the year to find it since so many possible spellings of Conley. I would be very shocked if they fixed anything that quickly as I've been reporting problems there for years and still find they haven't fixed transcriptions or links.First of all, I'm pretty sure I found the online tree OP mentioned and can;t see how on earth it was put together. In many cases the sources are clearly given yet the details are ignored and wrong information is put instead. One example is the birth of Martha Jane Conley. Tree says she was born at Glenleary on 30 May 1874 (correct) "Daughter of John Conley and Mary Elizabeth (MacAlister) Conley" when her birth registration clearly show her parents as John Conley & Mary Braddly [Bradley]https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Conley-426The information listed for her father John Conley is just as bizarre. Says he was before 25 Feb.1827 and died 17 July 1882. This would make him about 55 when he was born. However, the death registration clearly says he was 35 years old (born c1847). Unfortunately there is a gap 1840s/1850s in baptismal register for Macosquin Presbyterian Church.https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Conley-422There seems, for some strange reason to be uncertainty for Mary Brandley's maiden name with it being listed as McAllister (even though the marriage registration and children's births call her Bradley). It possibly stems from certificate for marriage of John Connelly & Sarah Jane Elliott- his parents John Connelly & Mary Bradley and her parents John Elliott & Mary McAllister.

You have posted on the Dumfriesshire/Scotland board here on RC. I will ask the moderators to move your post to the Londonderry board where hopefully people can help further Have you tried to find Kathleen on the 1921 census in Scotland? I see also the problem with the link on www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ to a possible 1912 marriage for Martha to James Spence. Has anyone reported it on the site?Monica
