These are the only McGuigans living in Belturbet in 1901 - James is too young to be Laura's father and there is no Daniel: |

Pat, what proof do you have that her father came from Ireland? Is his name given on her marriage cert? |

We knew she put Marshall on her marriage cert. but don't know why.We don't know the mother's name-perhaps Marshall? No Scottish connection as far as we know.james McGuigan,catholic,had laura by a protestant girl,we think.Her family came from Belturbet,co.Cavan. the father seems to have brought her to Plymouth at an early age and left her with the Start family in Plymouth . |

Looking at the 1911 image, her nationality is given as Scotch. Where did you get the info about her father? |
