It looks like Ann Donachie could have married Richard Connelly, you would need a marriage cert or one of the births to prove.

I've looked at the Row deaths 1891-1901 & found these

1893 DONACHIE JAMES M 0 ROW OR RHU /DUNBARTON 503/00 0170 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

Baby unknown parents

2 1892 DONECHY JANE MCALLISTER F 56 ROW OR RHU /DUNBARTON 503/00 0016 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

You need this cert to find Jane's parents


3 1899 DONNACHIE MARY F 0 ROW OR RHU /DUNBARTON 503/00 0046 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

Baby unknown parents

4 1895 DONNACHIE NELLY F 10 ROW OR RHU /DUNBARTON 503/00 0164 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

???????
5 1898 DONNACHIE THOMAS M 64 ROW OR RHU /DUNBARTON 503/00 0113 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER
6 1898 DONNICHIE THOMAS M 64 ROW OR RHU /DUNBARTON 503/00 0113 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

Don't know why he's listed twice but again you need the cert

Ah yes,

°o.OOº°‘¨Claire in Wales¨‘°ºOO.o° Report 30 Jan 2008 22:51

You will be able to see them on Scotlands People.

Search "donachie" & make sure you tick soundex

Years 1891 to 1901

District "Row"

You will need 11 credits to view both & you are looking for their parent's names

Samantha

Samantha Report 30 Jan 2008 22:57

Just thought of some thing Andrew was living with parents at the age of 32 but living with sister (maybe) at the age of 42 so parents must of died between those times.
Is that 11 credits for each death cert or am i just searching for one (Im getting confused now) lol

I looked at this death cert this morning but i dont think its anything to do with my lot.
Its a shame that Thomas does not have his parents listed on his death cert this is going to be a difficult family to trace i think.
Makes me wonder if the Reilly/Rielly's will be the same??????

Samatha I don't think you stand a chance of getting any further with Thomas.

Do you want to have a go at the Rielly's?

Helen could well be one of Thomas & Jane's grandchildren. They had a son John 1762
