  1. Castle Street, Letterkenny Town, Donegal, Ireland, in Census Office. Ireland Census 1901. (National Archives of Ireland).

    Hugh McGlinn, age 56, born in Co Donegal
    wife: Mary McGlinn, age 41, born in Scotland
    daughter: Cassie McGlinn, age 22, born in Co Donegal
    daughter: Bridget McGlinn, age 21, born in Co Donegal
    boarder: Hugh Doyle, age 54

    Mary's age in this census is clearly wrong, since Cassie (Catherine) was born in 1868.

  2. Letterkenny Urban, County Donegal, Ireland, in Census Office. Ireland Census 1911. (Dublin: National Archives of Ireland).

    Hugh McGlynn, age 77, born in Co Donegal, butcher, R Catholic
    wife: Mary McGlynn, age 74, born in Co Donegal
    daughter: Cassie McGlynn, age 43, born in Co Donegal
    daughter: Bridget Doherty, age 36, born in Co Donegal, married
    granddaughter: Mary Doherty, age 2, born in Co Donegal
    granddaughter: Lizzie Doherty, age 2, born in Co Donegal
    granddaughter: Cathline Doherty, age 1, born in Co Donegal

    This census has the correct age for Cassie (Catherine), so Mary's age might also be more accurate in this census. There was a Mary McCann born in Scotland in 1836 and baptized in the Roman Catholic church, which would match this census record except for the birth place (note that the 1901 census says she was born in Scotland). Alternately, Mary (McCann) McGlynn died and this is a second wife, also named Mary.
