Mary Ann Martin 29/6/1863 Cambusnethan Lanark Scotland Mothers maiden name Jane Hanna ?

Also William John 8/5/1856 and Rachel 23/2/1858 both same mother and place as above

Jane Hanna to James Martin 25/07/1853 Bambridge Down Ireland
Fathers names John Martin and Joseph Hanna ?

These are from family search , may be of use

On the 1881 Census for the Martin family in Platt Lane visitor is Elizabeth Watson Aged 26yrs born in Scotland with her daughter Sarah Jane born Wigan 1879 . Lancs BMD have birth of a Sarah Jane Watson in Wigan 1879 mothers maiden name Martin.

Also the son James Martin born Wigan c1867 Lancs BMD have one in 1867 with mothers maiden name given as Barton but also one in 1866 with mothers maiden name Hannah.

1871 Census has James and Jane Martin in Wigan with Children James aged 5 born Wigan, Eliza J (Elizabeth above?) aged 16 born Scotland, Agnes aged 13 born Ireland ,Mary Ann aged 7 born Scotland and Susan Aged 0 born Wigan. Lancs BMD have a Susan Martin born in Wigan in 1870 mothers maiden name Hannah which matches in with the James Martin born 1866 Wigan mothers maiden name Hannah - may be worth looking for Mary Ann c 1864 and Elizabeth Martin c 1855 with mother JaneHannah both births in Scotland ?

Wigan World free cemetery records have grave F501 non Con in Wigan Cemetery Lower Ince containing Thomas Curran aged 82yrs buried 22Feb 1941 also Mary Ann Curran aged 78yrs buried 9th july 1941 both died in billinge Hospital but their address at time of death is given as 21 Baron Street.

(if any use things Wigan above!)

Hi, Thomas' father was called Robert and Thomas' son was called Robert James who is my great grand father

Wasn't he the son of Thomas and Mary ? ....I was wondering if Thomas had a brother named Robert James..or am I getting confused...???

Gemma said in an earlier post that Robert James Curran was her great-grandfather.

Kath. x

Do you know if Thomas had a 2nd Christian name...or a brother named Robert James....?

Edit..There is a small Townland named Clontoe in the Co Monaghan

Eringobragh1916 my thoughts too as i had been searching for Clontoe but couldn't find anything but then google suggested Clonoe Co.Tyrone

Gemma...I suggest that the 1911 Census showing the "Place of Birth" of Thomas Curran should read..
Clonoe
Co.Tyrone
