I'm new here so am relying on all of you experts to help me out if you can. I have two births and am trying to determine which one is the right connection for me so here goes: I'm looking for a John Neeson born in either 1864 or 1865 who had a father also named John Neeson who later on moved or lived in Ballybollen Antrim Ireland. This John I'm trying to trace down married a Jane Mulholland on 1 October 1887 in Ahoghill RC Church in Antrim. They had a daughter "Rose" born on 16, April 1888. On her birth certificate it shows father John living in Port of Glasgow, Scotland while the mother was in Aughtercloney, Antrim Irleland living with her parents. I'm sure he was in Scotland getting work as the family sometime between Rose's birth and 1889 emigrated to the U.S., but if he was he was most likely staying with family or relatives up there. So maybe one of you Neeson's out there will make this connection. Anyway this John (father to Rose) was my Great Grandfather! Now! as mentioned earlier the two births I'm coming up with for a possible match are as follows: 1.John Neeson born 12 May 1864 to John & Ann (McDermott) Neeson in Clyde,Lanark 2.John Neeson born 17 Jun 1865 to John & Helen (Laurie) Neeson in Barony Lanark So how do I go about finding out which one of these births connects to the rest of the story. With all these John Neeson's out there it gets quite confusing. I will anxiously be awaiting any replies on this matter and most of all HELP!! Sincere thanks, Margie
