1901 Census for Woodside PLEEEASE!

[KernishKim]

Hi Everyone!! Has anyone got access to the 1901 Census for Co. Antrim? Am looking for a Daniel Woodside born around 1884. Trouble is I dont know whereabouts. If anyone can help me find any of his family it would be fantastic!! (Been Looking for Ages!)  Thanks!! Mary

Hi Mary,

The 1901 census is available at the PRO in Belfast. I have a long list of searches to do on my initial visit I'll see how that goes and may well make a regular visit so at this stage I'll just say I've made a note of your query and see what I can do.

Hello Mary,

I've just been looking through the 1861 - 2 Griffiths Valuations which are contained in the URL below. Only the head of the household is shown. I have doubts that Daniel will appear in Belfast, south Antrim or north Antrim. He should be in East Antrim.

Hi Mary,

It is lovely to see you are enjoying yourself here at RootsChat and getting involved. Some people come on a few times and then vanish completely.

I received personal messages from one such person. That was all she did, send  me personal messages and did not even mention the name of the family she is researching. I feel it may have been a bit of a leg pull.

That is enough about me. What about your Woodside research? How are you getting on with those ancestors of yours? Do you require further help there? Oh I am not a great hero yet. You still require the 1901 Census information. Anything else? While you are waiting for the details of the Census Mary key the name Woodside into the Ulster Covenant Search form. That is all you need to do. There are pages of them. http://www.proni.gov.uk/ulstercovenantsearch/index.asp

Here is a 1998 list of the Pirelli International Rally. You will notice the name Robert Woodside is mentioned in the Group N Production Car Class. I wonder if he is a relative of yours. This is the second time I have looked at local sports in the north of Ireland to help people trace some of their relatives. The last sport I looked into was pigeon racing.  http://www.proni.gov.uk/ulstercovenantsearch/index.asp

Hello,

Was there a Polly in your Woodside family

A barque, made in Belfast in 1885, was called the "Polly Woodside" after the wife of the guy who owned the vessel. http://tinyurl.com/5elvpa

The vessel was built at Belfast's "wee yard" -- Workman Clark & Co Ltd - which was one of the largest British shipbuilders at that time. The owner was William Woodside, a Belfast ship owner, and the ship was given his wife Marian’s nickname, Polly.
