In the 1901 census most of the Martin Connelly's are born in Ireland and most are Boarders/lodgers so not much help there. Do you know if John or Agnes had any siblings? (brothers and sisters) If yes, where they older or younger? oh and when did John and Agnes die? Mhairi

You do need to start buying some certificates to work your way backwards through these people.

There is a John William Connelly born 1904 Births Mar 1904 (>99%) CONNELLY John William Lambeth 1d 302 or Births Sep 1909 (>99%) CONNELLY John William Hendon 3a 360 It wasnt uncommon for people to lie about their age on their marriage certs by either adding on a year or two or shaving a few off.

The big problem being that this name sounds suspiciously Irish to me. 1871 ancestry gives this family: However on the image it actually says Conway - so Im a bit confused by it. Father is from IRELAND Anne Connelly 14 Catherine Connelly 45 James Connelly 12 John Connelly 10 Julia Connelly 4 Martin Connelly 2 Mary Connelly 20 Michael Connelly 50 Michael Connelly 6

i havent got the birth cert of john connelly..i have got the age from his marriage cert and cant on records find his dob record..but thanks for the other tips i will carry on hunting cheers chris

What certificates have you got so far? John Conollys birth cert would give his father and mothers names and then you could look for their marriage cert which would give their fathers names and go backwards from there. Have you looked on freebmd and failing that looked at ancestry complete index (both are free). You could look for Martin on the 1881 census - thats also free on familysearch.org
