Wilson-Sloan

[pat77]

Yes, Joseph Wilson and Mary Sloan

I looked again for every Thomas born in Ireland 5 years either side

[pat77]

The death of Thomas

[pat77]

That census was from here . Also note that when my great gran Maggie died in 1910 one year later Thomas again married to  a woman who i believe was a relative, He had 6 children in the house and had to work so I think this women who was of or married to his mother's Sloan family was sent to help. Living in one room and kitchen with 8 people i guess its inevitible they married within a year

I should say that Thomas and Samuel both married and died in Glasgow, Scotland. Don't know what happened to the parents Joseph and Mary after they left Shinn in 1880

I see that Samuel’s mother is given as Sloan on his death in 1926. Is she Mary?

The marriage was to Margaret Sloan - nee Smith, so if there was a Sloan connection it would be through her husband.
I think this may be her in 1911 in Newry.

She married David Sloane in 1897, Newry

I hadn't seen that census before but its definately her. Six months later she was married to Thomas. Thomas was a horrid man. Drunk, wife beater. Margaret the second wife seemingly was a lovely women and the kids all liked her. She didn't put up with him for long and left him to return to Newry. My Granda was would have been around 5 going on 6 then and his brother 2 years older. She wanted to take the two youngsters back to Newry with her but Thomas wouldn't let her. I had found the David Sloan marriage a couple of years ago. Thanks

So if there was a Sloan connection, it looks as though it was likely through her husband.

[pat77]

Yes, that's right .David was most likely a cousin on the maternal side
