Please could someone look up the 1851 and 1861 for Patrick Greenan d.o.b. c 1850.
Father should be Bernard.
Patrick was married in Anderston, Glasgow in 1870 to Margaret nee Russell so I am presuming he was living in Glasgow in 1851 and 1861,

thank you

jean

I have Patrick and Margaret's children but would be interested to find out if Patrick had any siblings.

The marriage is on Ancestry but only the certificate will tell you if it's the right couple.

Mike, civil registration didn't start until 1855 in Scotland so only a parish record would be available.

If Bernard died in Scotland, his death registration would name all spouses including their maiden surnames if the informant knew the details.

Jean - FYI
http://www.freecen.org.uk/
has all of Lanark for 1841/51 and most of Renfrew for 1841 (90%) & 1851 (78%), but nothing for these two counties for 1861 on.

I am not sure that the 1851 & 1861 censuses i refer to the couple who married in 1846.
They married in the Gorbals.
I think this is the bride, Mary Queen/Quinn at 1851 with her son and her parents

Patrick Greenan

Estimated birth year: abt 1848

Potential matching RC baptisms in Glasgow for the other family.
( Scotland's People)
Baptisms in St Andrews which is on Clyde St for children named Bernard and Sarah.
Father Bernard. Mother: Mary
Mother's name does not match with Queen / Quin or any variant.
Edit: Mothers name :Mary SMITH

EDIT:
OP states Patrick married in 1870, at the same address showing on 1861 census therefore his mother's name should be listed on the cert?

Used some SP credits to look at Patrick's marriage record (though Jean already has this, and could tell us herself!).

Father: Bernard Greenan, mason's labourer.
Mother: Mary Greenan nee Smith


No Greenan / Smith marriage shows on SP.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 8 Oct 2015 11:16

Bernard's death cert only names Mary Smith as a wife.

Informant: James Greenan, son, 30 Wilson St., Partick.
Cause of death: fracture of leg, and shock.
Father: James Greenan, flesher, deceased.
Mother: Sarah Greenan, ms McMahon, deceased.

1877 GREENAN BERNARD
M 63 KELVIN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/09 0142


So the 1851 and 1861 posted by Mike are the correct family, as Jean has said, but the Quinn / Queen marriage is not, as GlasgowLass thought.

Perhaps Bernard Greenan and Mary Smith married in Ireland.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 8 Oct 2015 15:17

I can only see the death of Mary Quinn (in 1906, in Kelvin, Glasgow) - no sign of Mary Smith's death, at least not in Scotland.

Her Bernard was a seaman. After he died she married Edward Farmer, spirit merchant. Informant was her nephew James Hendry - presumably one of the Henry family in the 1851 census posted by GlasgowLass.

A tree on Ancestry shows the death of Mary Greenan MS Smith as 28 Jan 1885. Registered in Kelvin.
Her mother was also a McMahon

Greenan/Smith Marriage date on this tree says 11 Jun 1836 in Co Monaghan
( probably found on the birth cert for one of the children born 1855 onwards)

1855 certs provide a wealth of info and expect it was found on BC for Catherine Greenan b 28 Apr 1855)

Tree follows son Owen and his descendants
