Candy family of Londonderry
« on: Thursday 26 August 04 07:13 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for any information on the Candy family of Londonderry.
James Candy [ born approx 1850? – died approx 1924] was Station master of Londonderry. Probably his father came over from Somerset to work building the Irish railway system but this is not certain.
James's Wife – name and maiden name  unknown

James’s 9 Children [probably born in Derry]
Joseph [ engineer]
Molly [ died in flu epidemic approx 1918 nursing the family]
Dorothy [ teacher, never married]
Thomas [ Radiologist, my grandfather, moved to Newport Wales ]
Madeleine [ teacher, moved to  India, died having twins]
Adelaide [ teacher, not married]
Gertrude [ teacher, one child]
James [ Doctor GP, no male children]
Norbert [died age 12]

I would be very grateful if you know anything about this Candy family – especially any years of birth, death, James Candy’s wife’s name etc etc – anything is interesting.
Thanks,
Jonathan Candy

Hi,

There are railway records of some sort 1870 to 1950 Irish transport genealogical archives at Heuston station here in Dublin.

Any birth, marriage or death post 1864 in Derry should have been registered. Check the indexes available in the GRO in Dublin or your local family history centre.

I can't see any Candy families in the Griffiths valuation in Derry, just in Wexford, Down and Antrim.

regards

Kate
