Hi Rosie. It looks like you are correct. Here is the death certificate for Catherine. The names match and her mother's maiden name confirmed as Cosgrove. Thanks for your help.

Excellent always best to check certificates to confirm you have the right information I see husband Thomas is not down as deceased .Looks like they might have separated ?

That could be a possibility. I see on Catherine's certificate it is showing as her passing away in the Glasgow Poorhouse. I am trying to find a death certificate for Thomas but not luck as of yet.

Yes I did notice Catherine died in the poor house not sure where you live Mitchell Library Glasgow have records might be worth checking to see if Catherine applied for poor relief .There were several deaths for a Thomas McGuire unfortunately not showing mothers maiden name

Yes, I'll get to the Mitchell Library soon to see what I can find. I did get the death certificates for the Thomas McGuires without maiden names but none seem to match him. I've also found a census record from 1901 showing (Francis) John McGuire aged 16 which would match up with my great grandfather. There's also a Sarah McGuire too. But no Thomas.

There is this death for a Susan Malaghan in 1888. She died in the workhouse and her residence 7,  Francis Street.

I'm not sure how this all fits together, but no. 7 Francis Street is the exact same address where a Thomas Mallaghan died on 10 December 1886, reported in his death registration as a 63 year old dealer by his daughter Catherine Owens:

Looking for that daughter's marriage brings back the following one on 27 January 1874 in St. Mary's, Belfast, for a Catherine Mallaghan, daughter of Thomas a dealer, to a James Owens of 34 Marquis Street (a John Mallaghan was a witness):

And we already know that 34 Marquis Street just happens to be the exact same address where Patrick Mallaghan died on 5 February 1874 (replies 30 and 43).

Sorry, I don't get it. Who is Thomas, how does he fit in to this?

Thomas is my Great Great grandfather, husband of Catherine.
