I've recently discovered that my great-grandfather William Smith was born in Greenlough, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland and not in County Cork as has been long thought. This also sheds a new light on his parents, and his mother now may be Margaret Killough Marron. The latest theory is that William was born in 1866 to Margaret without a father named on his birth certification (baptism certificate is not available), but that his father's name was Michael Smith, as indicated in William's marriage certificate. Margaret later married Michael Maren/Marin/Marron in 1876 and had two more children.
Looking for any more information about William in Northern Ireland pre-1899 (his year of marriage in Glasgow), and for Margaret prior to 1876 and after 1911.
