John's address on the marriage cert is 53 Stirling Street Glasgow and the marriage was registered in Milton for St Joseph's Churgh (of which there are 7 in the Glasgow area).....there doesn't seem to be a Stirling Street listed on Google maps there is a Stirling Road and a Stirling Street in Cumbernauld. I will try the National Library for old maps.

thank you

There was a Stirling Road in Glasgow at that time which I think would come under St. Rollox area then.


EDIT

Stirling Street, Cowcaddens Now called Dunblane Street, C4

From memory, if you're looking at a present day map it will be found around Port Dundas Road and Milton Street. Very near the present day Cowcaddens Fire Station.

This is a useful site for Old Glasgow Street names.

Thanks Rootgatherer....I've bookmark that for future reference....not a site I've used before.

On my grandfathers(Edward McVey) wedding certificate he was
living at 28 Broomhill Street Glasgow and John his father was listed still as a Potter I assume he would have been living with his parents as my Grandmother MaryJane(Macormack) was listed at 9 Broomhill Street,Glasgow
would this be of some help?I was wondering if you cold find any information on her parents. They were Edward Macormack and Ally (Alice)nee McCrenor My grandmother wasborn in Ballynease Ireland district of
Bellaghy,Union of Magherefelt, County Londonderry16th May1890 I have her birth certificate. I dont know when or how they arrived in Scotland.I have my Grandparents wedding certificate that is the only information I have on both sides of my Dads family . It is confusing with both sides having an Edward and a Mary Jane.

Good morning Annie. This certainly looks like your Gran. Address is correct although her age is a wee bit out. Port Dundas is the same district as Stirling Street! Their name has been mistranscribed as McCornack but is almost certainly McCormack.

EDIT

If Edward and Alice had more children in Scotland then the birth registration will give you / confirm the date and place of Edward and Alice's marriage.

I have tried the 1911 census for Ireland but haven't come up with anything so far. Also tried for a marriage of Edward and Alice but again so far nothing.

Edit

Well done Rootgatherer.....that would explain why I couldn't find them in Ireland

Aileen, do you think that could be a second marriage for Edward? Nearly 6 years between Mary and Charles. I am sure it is the correct family so it looks like they had only been in Scotland for 3 months at most. The only thing that concerns me is Mary's age and I am wondering if Annie has the correct birth certificate.

Annie, when did Edward and Mary Jane marry please?

? Possibly other children who died.

marriage for Edward and Mary Jane

1907 MCVEY EDWARD MCCORMACK MARY MILTON GLASGOW/LANARK

Found a death for Alice

1933 MCCORMACK ALICE MCCREANOR F 69 SPRINGBURN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK

Parents given as Charles ( Farmer) and Elizabeth ms McErlane (both deceased)

cert was signed by Mary McVey

Death for Edward

1939 MCCORMACK EDWARD M 73 SPRINGBURN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK

parents given as John (Farmer) and Rose ms Agnew (both deceased)

cert signed by Charles McCormack (son)

There are marriage record for 1887 Co Derry for both Edward McCormack and Alice McCreanor but it costs 5 euros to view each record and although I'm fairly sure it will be them I don't have any credits left

1st November 1907 St Aloysius Church Glasgow Edward McVey(Cabinetmakers Assistant) age 21 Father John motherMaryJane Devine
Mary McCormack 19, Father Edward mother Alice (on her birthcertificate mother is listed as Ally and her age is
different on the marriage certificate .Her name is spelt differentlly as well.My( Dads name was Charlesif that helps with anything)

I think that all ties in and we have the correct family for Mary Jane.

thanks for all your help I would never have got this far.For the Irish side Mary Jane McCormack what is the best place for Irish records.

For Irish records try having a look at the Record Pilot search at www.familysearch.org

I have had a quick look. If you start by looking for Charles McCormack (more likely to be McCormick in Ireland) as he is only 3 months old on that 1901 census so we know that his birth will be registered before they left Ireland. I can only see 1 that is likely and that is in the Ballycastle District of Antrim.

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=recordResults
&givenName=Charles&birthYear=1901&birthPlaceId=1927084&birth
PlaceLoc1=Ireland&searchType=close&surname=McCormack


You can then look for the births of the other children in the same area to narrow the search.

To purchase you can send euros by signed for mail. If you give the references from the Record Pilot site the cost of certificates is a wee bit cheaper.
