Does anyone have any thoughts here?
I've been searching for the Lennon's over the past week and if you've seen my latest blog you'll see that I have been rather successful (I didn't wish to waste Research space for useful information), anyway what I'm stuck on is this:
In Scotland's People I found a Census for 1911 for a Mary Ann Lennon (I thought it was her Cousin Mary) but when I opened it I realized it was for Mary Ann who is the Daughter of John Lennon & Isabella Bradley. It might be easier if I write the family out on both Census records.
1911: Father John 1868, Son John- 1890, Daughter Mary Ann- 1895, Daughter Lizzie- 1897 and a Servant.
1901: Father John, Son John, Daughter Mary Ann, Daughter Lizzie, Daughter Bridget-1899 and a Servant. (Noted as Lenon)
Now this is the odd bit, I was searching for the Marriage of Edward Lennon (Mary's Son) and I clicked one that matched the area and realized that it had a Father and wasn't just in the Mother's name. I noticed that the name was John and didn't think much of it until I saw the name Isabella which is when I opened my tree and realized that my John was married to Isabella Bradley.
I also find it odd how Edward who is 25 in this 1931 Marriage isn't mentioned in the 1911 Census nor is Isabella and Bridget also isn't there (Nor can I find a birth on Scotland's People using her name and the dates of 1895-1905 the one I found has different parents)
Plus there's another name on Isabella:

So could they have divorced and Isabella took Edward with her or John died and then she re-married?
Just double checked Scotland's People to see if I had the Marriage of John & Isabella correct (I admit that it was a connection that gave me it) and the Marriage actually happened in 1902- Lanarkshire.
