I am researching the THOMPSON family line - George and Rosey (McClements with spelling variations) who were married on Feb. 22, 1873 at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, Dungiven. They had the following children: William, John, George, James, Ellen and possibly a Sarah.
I am trying to determine when George and Rosey died. Rosey had died by the time of the 1901 Ireland Census and George was still living when the 1911 census was recorded- he was 71 years of age, living with his brother William and daughter, Ellen, Dungiven, N.Ireland.
The son William left Ireland under suspicious circumstances connected to the Easter Uprising, April 1916, and settled in Scotland (Balbie Farm, Burntisland, Fife) eventually emigrating to Canada in November 1923. Two of his eight children were born in Scotland.
I am hoping to connect with any researcher that is working on this line as I have hit a few brick walls and seem to be unable to move forward. As a side note: If BETTY53 is still checking this board, I have the information you are seeking for William Thompson who settled in Canada.
Regards...Julia

Rosey had died by the time of the 1901 Ireland Census...
Don't see a 60 y.o. George in Dungiven 1901, maybe you know where George was in 1901?

No results for a George Thompson, RC, Widower in 1901 Census anywhere in Ireland!!
-
10 years earlier in 1901 he was 51!!

Pity you didn't give his age in 1901 or a link to Census, to save time looking for him!

Hello Hallmark:
First let me say thank you for taking the time to looking up information on the Thompson family. I realize there are discrepancies with the ages for George between the 1901 and 1911 census but so often this field cannot be relied upon as being the gospel truth. Taking into consideration all the other details that are listed on both census ie other family names, approx. ages and given names I am fairly confident that I have the correct George Thompson. I do already have a copy of the parish record for the marriage of George and Rosey but do appreciate the added information you posted on acquiring a formal certificate. The information you listed for Rose Thompson re her death, I have already checked into and, unfortunately, it is not her. I will continue to push onward in the hopes that all the pieces will eventually come together and again, thank you for all the effort you put into my request posting. It is people such as yourself that prove that family tree researchers are a special group of folk. Have a great day...Julia

So you know who their father was, possibly townland, so did any siblings apply for Pension?
-
Hello again. In reply to your question, I honestly do not know. I have not come across any information that confirms or denies that pensions were applied for by the siblings. Sorry I can't give you more information than that. I do know that William, the one son, did leave Ireland about 1916 and settled in Scotland and eventually emigrated to Canada. Beyond that I have no idea what the siblings did or what they may have applied for.
