He dies in Cumberland Street in the Gorbals The wiki has him dying on July 27th 1910. This Michael Dolan who died in October was aged 42 which is the correct age for him in the Wiki. There is no record of a Michael Dolan born in Uddingston in 1868 as the Wiki says? The only Michael Dolan born in Scotland in 1868 was born in Edinburgh on April 18th 1868. « Last Edit: Aug 5, 2010, 1:38pm by dianogah » Report to Mod - Link to Post - Back to Top 87.194.157.112 camillo Administrator member is online They all loved the Green Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,147 Re: Michael Dolan « Reply #1 on Jun 7, 2010, 1:16pm » OK might be getting somewhere. I have another Michael Dolan dying on July 27th 1910 (the same date as the Wiki). He lived in Uddingston at 25 Greenrig Street and was married to Mary Ann (Rollay?). He was a miner and he was 51 when he died. His parents were John and Catherine. Just need to connect Frank to one of these familes now.

Going on the Uddingston address the most likely burial place would have been Bothwellpark in Viewpark. I contacted North Lanarkshire Coucil but unfortunately they don't have a record of him in Bothwellpark « Last Edit: Jun 7, 2010, 3:01pm by viewparktims » Report to Mod - Link to Post - Back to Top 93.97.68.26 SaintMartin Administrator member is offline Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,079 Re: Michael Dolan « Reply #5 on Jun 7, 2010, 4:12pm » Fantastic work ghuys.

We know where the man died, a great step forward in such a short time. Might there be other RC cemetries, including some which have closed, in that part of Lanarkshire including Hamilton? I'll try and get to the Mitchell this week and check the sporting and Catholic press around 27th July 1910 to see if the cemetery is mentioned. This was certainly common at the time for such details to be publicised depending on the individual. The fact that W Maley was in charge of the team and J Kelly was a director along with M Dunbar meant the club paid particular attention to the deaths of their former team mates. Fingers crossed.

At the Mitchell I was able to track a reference to Michael Dolan's passing in the sporting press - but no mention of a cemetery. We are lucky that for a few years Tom Maley (whom VT and I believe scored a hat-trick against the Huns in our first ever game) was a writer on the Glasgow Observer, and would pen a weekly column mostly focused on Celtic. This is a mine of wonderful information about the players, directors and others associated with the club in the early years. As part of 'Maley's Football Notes' in the August 18, 1910 edition, we have the following: Another Celt Gone And so another of the old brigade has crossed the stream. The late M. Dolan whose death was announced last week, was one of two brothers who played for the Celts what time the foundation was being laid of the greatest erection ini football. He was a goalkeeper of considerable ability, and though he never quite filled the official eye, he was always considered a very good man, and held in high esteem and much respected by all with whom he came in contact at the old enclosure. He was in those faraway days an enthusiastic Celt, and though the years come between, I am pretty certain that enthusiasm never waned. He was goalkeeper for the famous reserve eleven which made such a great record during season 1890-91 and wound up their affairs by whacking St Mirren reserves or 2nd XI by thirteen goals to one on the 24th February 1891. The Celtic side on that day was - Dolan (RIP); Collins and Dunbar (RIP); Murray, F. Dolan and Kyle; Cunningham (RIP); Devlin, Coleman, Foran and M'Geechan. The deceased was always at his best, or rather lived quite up to if not beyond his great Lanarkshire reputation, when he began the afternoon's operations by having to start straight away against heavy bombardment. His brother Frank was a centre-half very much above the average. He played good football, placing being the leading characteristic. The only little drawback was lack of speed and perhaps more apparent by contrast than it deserved otherwise. James Kelly was then on top form and his great recovery work and electrical dashes were so frequently on view for Parkhead frequenters that aught else lacking in those qualities was - well, tolerated. The goalkeeper was the senior in years and his death found him in his fifthy first year. Peace to his soul and to those bereft I offer my sympathy, and no doubt in my wishes many who have followed the club since the year when Dolan guarded the uprights join with equal sincerity." « Last Edit: Jun 9, 2010, 2:03am by weeshamrock » Report to Mod - Link to Post - Back to Top 86.25.219.99 'They never die who live in the hearts they leave behind' camillo Administrator member is online They all loved the Green Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,147 Re: Michael Dolan « Reply #8 on Jun 9, 2010, 10:51am » Brilliant stuff ws.

Anyone aware which RC cemetries (although need not be RC) were open in Lanarskshire at that time?

From VT, Mick is included in the record of Pre-WWII players and it states he played for Drumpellier, Uddingston and Coatdyke Gaelic or Olympic. It is also mentioned in the Alphabet if Celts that the Lord Provost of Glasgow in the 1950s boasted that he lived up the same close as the Dolan brothers at 401 Great Eastern Road, Glasgow but it doesn't give a date for that - maybe it will fit with 1891. The brother was Francis Dolan who also played for Celtic from 1890 until 1894. The birth data included in the Alphabet of Celts for him is that he was born on 24th April 1870 at Old Monkland and died on 12th February 1933.

Wathc for the family tree stuff. It's quite common for folk to copy info from anywhere they see it and stick it in their family tree without checking or verifying. It'd be a bit like seeing someone post a rumour saying Bellamy is signing and then finding someone else has him in their team list online.

Went up this afternoon in not the best of weather so the picture quality isn't great. Sadly no headstone exists. The grave is right by another whose location is clearly marked so easy to find. Cemetery very well maintained too.

Coming from Coatbridge and having being involved with the Coatbridge Irish Genealogy Project, I've been really intrigued with this story. All you guys have to take tremendous credit. Brilliant work. I tried about 8 years ago to link Michael Dolan with Coatbridge knowing that he had played for the Coatbridge sides, Drumpellier and Coatdyke. But fair play to you for linking him with Buchanan St, Coatbridge. Buchanan St, near St Augustines Church was a haven for Irish migrants who came to Coatbridge in search of work in the iron works and mines. Around the time Michael was born, Coatbridge would have been awash with Irish. in 1851 the Irish made up 35.8% of the Coatbridge population compared to 7% in Scotland as a whole. There is a very good chance that you would be able to locate his original birth submission in the parish register at St Patrick's Coatbridge. These started in 1847. Also, does anyone have a photograph of Michael ? The other question I'd like to ask is, does anyone know where in Ireland his parents came from, as they were both classed as being born in Ireland in the census ? Being from Coatbridge, I'm really proud that Celtic's first goalkeeper was born in the town, and I'm sure the rest of the town would love to be aware of this story. Also, it would be great if a stone was to be erected on the burial place, and without a doubt I'm sure many of the Celtic supporters clubs in the town would get behind raising money for this cause. Another thing struck me while looking at the 1871 census records whilst he was aged 11 and still a child and living in Coatbridge, he was employed as a miner. A chilling thought. Well for my first post I think I've said enough. Congratulations again. Great Project.

We've tried to dig further into Michaels' story in particular to try to trace his family. As you can see there is no headstone on his grave so it would be a great project if the Celts in Coatbridge could raise sufficient funds to see our first ever goalie honoured. We have gone so far down the road of tracing his family to the 1930's. Perhaps you'd like to become involved with us in this. I'll send you a PM in the next day or say. There is another story out there about the number of Irish miners in North Lanarkshire who played a huge part in our formation. The first Ever Eleven had a high percentage of families form mining communities. We've yet to find a photo of Michael but the fact that his brother Frank also played for us makes me hope that one or other of his families will be able to provide us with a photo. Once again, great first posting and I look forward to working with you. « Last Edit: Nov 2, 2010, 7:44pm by camillo » Report to Mod - Link to Post - Back to Top 87.194.157.112 slapup Junior Member member is offline Joined: Nov 2010 Gender: Male Posts: 10 Re: Dolan, Michael - LOCATED WITH PIC « Reply #47 on Nov 2, 2010, 6:23pm » Here is the original entry for Michael Dolan from St Patrick's Church Coatbridge. Looks like his sponsor was an Ann Callaghan and the priest who baptised him was Fr Michael O'Keefe. For the life of me I'd be struggling to remember when I saw that query for Michael from one of his family in the evening times. Must be at least a few years back. What I do recall though is that there was no contact number or address, so it would be a difficult one to follow even if the article was located.

Great to have a Coatbridge connection with the First XI. Camillo's done some grand work also trying to race Mick's descendants, your info really gives the whole thing fresh impetus. The defence has a big Lanarkshire emphasis with Eddie Pearson buried in Cambusnethan and James Kelly in New Stevenson.

I've heard there are quite a few decendants of Mick Dolan still in Coatbrig. Just wondering if you think it'd be a good idea to put the story in the local rag, The Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser. That way you might get family involved, also you might get a photo of Mick and from my Coatbridge Irish genealogy perspective, we might find out where in Ireland the Dolans came from. You can let me know if you'd be happy to go with this.

Some roots research has been going on in the background so once we've made some headway with that will come back to you re the local paper etc. The good people of Coatbrig will hopefully enjoy this story. Thankfully there are no bad people in Coatbrig ;-) Report to Mod - Link to Post - Back to Top 80.5.173.199 'They never die who live in the hearts they leave behind' weeshamrock Administrator member is offline Joined: Jun 2010 Gender: Male Posts: 938 Re: Dolan, Michael - LOCATED WITH PIC « Reply #51 on Nov 17, 2010, 1:56am » PS - any online resources re the Coatbridge Irish Genealogy Project?

Slap Up - get in touch. Michael is on our 'hitlist' for the first eleven; would be great to make contact with the local community to develop a plan. |
