Hi Bob,
Can you give us some names, ages and places I'll have a wee bash trying to find Margaret Kelly in 1881 (very common name though, my mum's name is Margaret Kelly)
Cheers,
Andy

Searching for Keogh, Kelly, Fitzgerald, Riddell, Stewart, Wilson, McQuilkin, Lynch, Boyle, Cairney, Ross, King, McIlravey, McCurdy, Drennan and Woods (to name but a few).
Also looking for any information on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland.

Your probably right on track with the honorary title .They probably had a right rotter and decided to get a nicer one at the farmers market .(just for show you understand)The conversation was probably like this:
MA:Were having a family do on thursday naight.
PA:Can Mother Kelly make it or do we have to have" tha' othir ane?"
I should have looked into that with all my other wedding preperations.You can rent a date why not a Mother-in-law for special occasions.Then she couldn't complain she wasn't invited either.Hmmm.Have to pass that one on to my own weens for future reference.

Hi Andy
Nice to see you on the new Group.
It’s actually Margret Kelly [sic]
We’ve actually discussed this particular woman before you and I! A long time ago when I think it was ‘Eileen’ gave you info about some of her ancestors who lived in the Glasgow area - Margaret and James Kelly. There were many similarities which prompted me to ‘butt in’ on your discussions at the time. Alas no connection could be made.
It’s the 1891 census for William Wilson at 33 Rosemount St, Glasgow.

Margret Kelly does not appear with the family in the 1901 census, although there is a couple in the area, but none who tie in.
Mary Jane’s M/S is McKinney or Mackenzie but she was previously married as Butler.
Pretty complicated stuff. And of course the family originated from Ireland, probably northern.
Thanks Andy
Bob.
