I'm hooked, so used a few more credits and had a look at the birth cert for Henry, one of the McGunnigle children in 1911.

It looks as if the James McGonigle who is at the same address as the Kennas in 1921-23 (116 Drygate Street) , with Mrs Annie McGonigle, could be the James from 1911 census.


Henry McGunnigle.
Born 14th Sept 1907, at 6am, at 50 Provanhill Street, Glasgow.
Father: James McGunnigle, bottle blower, journeyman.
Mother: Annie McGunnigle, ms Crumlish.
Parents' marriage: 31 Dec 1901 in Glasgow.


Marriage:

CRUMLISH ANNIE
MCGUNNIGLE JAMES
1902
644/6 38
St Rollox


But I'm not hooked enough to look at the marriage cert to see if James is Catherine Ferns's son!

Her mother's death:

DEVLIN [ also listed as McGUNNIGLE and as FERNS - so that's the right family above ]
CATHERINE
49
1916
644/5 359
Garngadhill


I don't see James McGunnigle's death.

Hmmm -
well, the glassblower in 1911 obviously isn't her father.


Her mother's remarriage:

MCGUNNIGLE CATHERINE
DEVLIN JOHN
1905
644/6 185
St Rollox

her father is deceased and a glassblower at time of marriage mother is catherine devlin previously mcgunnigal maiden name cant make out

Possibly his birth - if so, even older:

MCGINIGAL
JAMES
M
1860
651/1 90
Airdrie or New Monkland

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.

thank you for all the help

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

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..

Births of he children on the 1911 census:

MCGUNNIGLE
HENRY

(Probably this one) -

MCGUINNIGLE
THOMAS

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

The 1911 census by working the Scotlands People system

Note spelling here - McGunnigle

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

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

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

Agnes b Glasgow 06.12.12, Henry b 11.04.15 at Gibb St, Glasgow d 19 Sept 1915 at 29 Gibb St, Andrew b 06.06.17 in Glasgow and Catherine b 16.01.22 in Glasgow.

twins l picked up wrong took it down agnes b in garngadhill 2nd in hutchesetown 3rd in garngadhill 4 th in dennistoun

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

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

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
