Thread: Help Needed - Irish Ancestors??

I am looking for more info:- I have a John Murphy c.1850 who was married to Annie Collins c.1852. Marriage date 25/12/1871 in Glasgow Scotland.



John's parents were:- Joseph Murphy c.1829 and Eliza (Elizabeth) McNeill c.1828. Married in Portglenone, County Antrim, Ireland on 21/11/1848.

I know from their marriage cert. that Eliza's father's name was Thomas McNeill, but nothing on her Mother. And I know from Joseph's death certificate (23/03/1889) that his parents were John Murphy and Margaret McLaughlan.



Annie's parents were Bernard Collins & Mary Malloy according to Annie's Marriage certificate. But have no more info than that.





But now I'm stuck.

The names Collins and Molloy are both very Irish.
