Your probably right on track with the honorary title .They probably had a right rotter and decided to get a nicer one at the farmers market .(just for show you understand)The conversation was probably like this:
MA:Were having a family do on thursday naight.
PA:Can Mother Kelly make it or do we have to have" tha' othir ane?"
I should have looked into that with all my other wedding preperations.You can rent a date why not a Mother-in-law for special occasions.Then she couldn't complain she wasn't invited either.Hmmm.Have to pass that one on to my own weens for future reference.

Hi Andy

Nice to see you on the new Group.

It’s actually Margret Kelly [sic]

We’ve actually discussed this particular woman before you and I! A long time ago when I think it was ‘Eileen’ gave you info about some of her ancestors who lived in the Glasgow area - Margaret and James Kelly. There were many similarities which prompted me to ‘butt in’ on your discussions at the time. Alas no connection could be made.

It’s the 1891 census for William Wilson at 33 Rosemount St, Glasgow.

William Wilson Head
Mary J Wilson Wife
Alice Wilson Dau
William G Wilson Son
Robert J Wilson Son
Catherine Wilson Dau
Lousinda Wilson Dau
Margret Kelly Mother in Law 60 Widow Farmworker

Margret Kelly does not appear with the family in the 1901 census, although there is a couple in the area, but none who tie in.

Mary Jane’s M/S is McKinney or Mackenzie but she was previously married as Butler.

Pretty complicated stuff. And of course the family originated from Ireland, probably northern.

Thanks Andy

Bob.

Not a problem.I thought it was funny too once I finally caught it.Course the funny part was how long I was fluttering around thinking I had it.As I said before."D'oh".You do realize that until very recently my days have been spent with the Seseme Street crowd .

Hi Billy

Well,that's just it, prior to the 1891 census (and afterwards) there is no mention. She just seems to pop up at that time then disappear.

Cheers

Bob.

Hi BillyF
I see you are searching McIlory. I am a McIlroy and have managed to trace GG Grandparents with some held from others who were married in Anderson Glasgow 04/02/1860. They were called Peter McIlroy and Catherine Sherry.They had quite a few children. Any relation? I have their parents names but unable to trace any further back.

Hello Bob,

could mother-in-law actually be his wife's, i.e. her first husband's mother? The death of 70-year old Margaret Kelly in 1899 at 24 Rosemount Street looks interesting, but the informant was her son James Kelly.

Regards,

John

Hi Sporran

I've looked at that 1899 entry for Margaret Kelly of Rosemount St many times, thinking along the same lines as yourself. But the link just isn't there is it? Thanks for looking.
