O'NEIL, Arthur ²

   Another name for Arthur was O'NEILL, Arthur.¹

  General Notes:

The 1881 census recorded Arthur as a coal miner, living with his wife and brother in law James at 9 Brusher's Row in Bothwell parish Lanarkshire.

It was probably this Arthur O'Neil who was involved with his brothers-in-law Robert and James in a breaking and entering charge in 1885. (see James and Robert McGunnigal) ²

Arthur married Elizabeth McGUNNIGAL, daughter of William McGUNNIGAL and Mary Ann McNAMEE, on 26 November 1880 in St Mary's Chapel, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland.¹ (Elizabeth McGUNNIGAL was born about 1860 in Motherwell, Lanarkshire, Scotland ².)

  Marriage Notes:

The marriage took place after banns according to the rites and forms of the Roman Catholic Church. John McDonald, RC Clergyman, married the couple. The witnesses were James O'Donnell and Margaret McCann.

Arthur O'Neill was a single man, working as an iron miner. He was 21 years of age and of 62 Broomlands, Paisley.

Elizabeth McGunnigal was a bleachfield worker. She was 20 years old and single. Her address was 12 Broomlands, Paisley.

The marriage was registered at Paisley on 1 December 1880.

Note: Although the bride's mother had died in 1874, the marriage certificate of this couple does not indicate that Mary Ann was deceased by then. All four parents were recorded as if all were living.
