Mary Theresa Danher - Mohin...

This is a photo of my great great Aunt Mary Theresa Danher , my great granddad John Walter Danher's younger sister, she was 7th in line of 16 births/siblings of John and Jane Danher of Liverpool England. Mary Theresa is the maternal grandmother to the one Sir Paul McCartney and she was my great granddad's best friend, along with Ambrose Mark Danher, JWD's 2nd eldest brother... they were a threesome, and best buddies, for my mom Joan Patricia Dutton Rutledge told me this. Mary Theresa Danher married one Owen Mohin , the grand parents of Sir Paul and had their family in Ireland, Co. Monaghan... Our huge family originates from Co. Limerick, Limerick city to be exact and when the famine hit in Ireland the gr8gr8gr8's moved to Scotland, Greenock first and then on to Middlesbrough/Stockton secondly and then on to Liverpool , for our fore fathers were miners and ironmongers... dabbled with Iron Ore and Steel and eventually builders in Liverpool and they had a nice tiddy business of Chandler shops and Electrical/Plumbing construction shops in the city of Liverpool. Alot of our sons then and now still do pipe fitting and contruction trades.... Mary Theresa Danher had 4 children and the last child she had , she died shortly after labour, giving child birth and the Mohin's were motherless... especially Paul McCartney's mom Mary who essentially became the the surrogate mother figure of the household afterwards... though her father went on to marry again and the step mother and daughter relationship faltered... Mary moved away from Ireland and went lived with relatives in Liverpool.   Mary Theresa Danher was her Mom, she was nicked named by the whole family as Sara Polly and hence the reason you see Sara D. on the photo... It is in no doubt in all our Danher minds not what so ever all 1500+ of us today , that due to these family tragedies, Mary  Theresa's early death, and then Sir Paul's mom Mary Patricia's early death with her embolism/ breast cancer too that these two influential events in Sir Paul's early history and progression of the Danher Family and the Beatles, it whole heartedly signifies the advent of the beginnings of the group called the Beatles, everything happens for a reason and in true life, as much as someone like Sir Paul wants the whole world not to know this was the case, it was reality at that time. Grammy night 2014 , the anniversary celebration of the 50th years since the Beatles came to America, clearly indicates his clear intention to never mention or suggest that these two women in his life, his maternal Grandma and Mother had any influence to his wayward teenage years and decisions, why would one talk about his insecurities, his betrayals, his feelings, his escapism and his obsessions... of that time, he is only going to tell you what he wants, what he wants is for you to believe his version of events and for us Danhers it is not the whole story and reality of his inevitable meeting of John Lennon, remember it was Paul who went to John, not the other way around and we know in our Family, had Mary Patricia Mohin McCartney survived, the last thing she would want to happen or allow was to have her Catholic Son go to an Anglican Church Fete, a Catholic one yes, but not St. Peter's Wooten, the place said to be the whole reason why the Beatles started in the first place and any other version of events is not a kind respect to Yesterday and Yesteryears!

  2. I believe we are related. Ambrose Danher was my grandfather's brother.
