(The last two entries (Lizzie and Richard) are on the following page.)

Catherine and Patrick had been married for 6 years and produced 3 children, all of whom were still living.

Patrick's son Patrick by his first marriage to Agnes McKerracher is just round the corner in Easterhill Street with his maternal grandfather.

The appearance of John (13) here is interesting. He does not appear with the family in 1901, and I can find no corresponding birth registered in Shettleston between Nellie and Daniel.

However, Catherine had a son John with her first husband Patrick McGee who would be 13 at this date. She had another son Richard who would be 11 were he still alive but the appearance of Richard above suggests to me that he may have died. Further investigation required.


1930 Patrick Carroll, Formerly a Coal Miner, married to 1st Agnes McKerracher, 2nd Catherine Scanlan or McGhee, died at 11h a.m. on Tuesday, May 25 at 958 Tollcross Road, Glasgow, age 67 years, of Chronic Fibroid Bronchitis, 5 years, Cardiac Weakness, as certified by Dugald McKinlay. His parents are recorded as Bernard Carroll, Coal Miner and Jane Carroll, afterwards Ferne m.s. Duffy, both deceased. His death was registered No.151 at Glasgow [Shettleston District] on May 27 by Patrick Carroll, Son, 138 Easterhill Street, Glasgow.


1936 On Friday, August 14, Lizzie married Daniel Mullen in St. Joseph's, Tollcross. [See Section MN-7-1 for further information.]
