Find Ancestors

George was the husband of my aunt Cissie (Maria Running), they got married 1923 in Glasgow. George is the son of Peter and Isabella Finnegan. I can find no trace of a birth for George ,or a marriage for Peter and Isabella, in Scotland.
I suspect northern Ireland, because of family history. Can anybody help

I think you may need Scotlands People site which is paying for credits.

Can you give us any years of birth for these people please?

in the 1901 census there are two George Sweeneys of about the right age in Glasgow

are you sure the spelling is SWEENY? it would be unusual ... no, a basic search at ScotlandsPeople shows it was SWEENEY ... spelling counts when it comes to names

>> it would be wise to use the 'Edit' at the top of your post to fix the name in the subject line ... that way anyone who ever does an internet search for his name will find it

this one is 'George A'

I'll remind Walter how to find his replies :-)

Can I say thank you to all who have answered my cry for help. It just goes to show how easy it is when you spell the name correctly. It is spelt correctly on the marriage notice but I just copied it wrongly.
Thank you again Walter.
