You need the marriage cert for her parents' names.
It will cost you 6 credits to view the image of the marriage cert on SP.

You refer to 1911 census…….her birthplace will be recorded on it

her parents will be named on the marriage cert, which you can download from SP website if you buy some units

That will be another 6 credits to see the 1911 census.

Personally, I would opt first for the marriage cert, which will give the names of both parents, including mother's maiden name, and father's occupation..
Then perhaps the census as back-up, if her birth can't be traced from the parents' names

we know there were 4 children only one is recorded with mothers maiden name at death

Assuming the births of children were registered in Garngadhill, there are these Kenna children (though they're not likely to be all the same family):

Agnes 1912
Thomas McGuinne[ss] 1913
Charlotte 1914
Henry 1915 - also died 1915
Andrew 1917 - that's the one with mmn recorded at death
Ellen 1921
Elizabeth McLau. . . . 1925
Joseph 1927
Agnes Richardson 1928
Joseph 1929
Margaret Brogan 1930
Rosina 1931
Thomas R 1932
Thomas 1933

many thanks for this henry we didnt know about they also had a son patrick in 1913

marriage certificate shows catherines parents were james and catherine,1911 census had a james mcgonnigle 40along with henry 3 and thomas 5 but they are related to head of house as brothers ,thought james was a mistake in age but no hes a glassblower this is throwing up more questions than answers

The 1911 census by working the Scotlands People system

Note spelling here - McGunnigle

MCGUNNIGLE THOMAS 1911 M 5 644/5 18/ 16 Garngadhill Lanark

Either James is Father to Catherine and the children are her brothers or
James is brother in law to Andrew and the children are perhaps his.

Do you have the full census you can post? Presume you have it if you can mention the relationships given

Army papers show his children as
Agnes 16.12.12
Henry 11.4.15 died 19. ?.1915
Andrew 6.6.17
Catherine 16.1.22

Andrew Kenna
in the Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Electoral Registers, 1857-1962
Name: Andrew Kenna
Residence Year: 1921
Address: 1835 [ 116 Drygate Street on image ]
Residence Place: Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Parliamentary Division: Glasgow

Andrew and Mrs Catherine Kenna.

Amongst many other names of people living in the same tenement are
James and Mrs Annie McGonigle.

Both couples still there in 1923.

By 1934, Andrew and Catherine are at 18 Sorn Street.
1939 - same address - Andrew & Catherine, and Andrew junior.
1949 - same address - Andrew & Catherine.
Still there in 1962, which is as far as the Glasgow ERs go on Ancestry..

thank you for all the help

Catherine's parents were James and Catherine, per her marriage cert.
What was Catherine's father's occupation on the marriage cert?
Does it say if he was deceased or not?


I'm wondering about this family - although Katie/Catherine's age is a couple of years out from that stated in 1911, and the age of the glassblower brother James is wildly different .

James in 1911 can't be Catherine's father unless his age is wrong - if aged 40 in 1911, he would have been 14 when he married.
