Michael Joseph Cawley and Mary Coleman married in Glasgow in October 1917. Marriage certificate shows Michael's parents as being Michael Cawley and Jane McGovern both said to be deceased by time of marriage. Records and details from my uncle who is 94 inform that Michael Cawley died during WW1 within a year of their marriage. Scotlands people records indicate date of death being 2 Sept. 1918. If there is anyone with any information on the family I would be grateful for any details. I have already visited Ballymote where Michael is said to have been born but with no success. I found a 1901 census for Michael and Jane which would indicate that there may also have been two other brothers - Peter born about 1886 and Charles about 1889. I can find not other info on any of the family members.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Oh I am aware that Mary Ann Coleman emigrated to America following the death of Michael and later married a William Reed. She had a hairdressing business and lived in Linton Street, Providence, Rhode Island.
