Hey there all, i was wondering if i could possibly get some help. i have tried starting on my Dad's side of the Family Tree but with little Success, riddled with Brick Walls i havent been able to get very far.
His Father was Jack Murdoch born 06/09/1914 to William Murdoch and Kathryn Horan, he had a Brother Called Edward who was born in 1912, not really sure what his birth/baptism date was and also a sister called Margaret, not sure when she was born either.
Not much is know about the Parents, William married twice, Kathryn being his second wife, his first wife we believed died young. The first wife's name was Margaret McDowell, they married in Belfast's Registrar's Office on 22nd June 1883. and they had two children, William Robert Murdoch, born 1885 not sure again on the date but it is believed he married a woman called Elizabeth Joyce and he died 6th June 1939 and buried in Gilnahirk. he had a sister called Annie and she was born in 1887, married a man called John Swandel, 29th Dec 1911 but not much more is known.
Kathryn Horan apparently came from Down South, all we know is that her Father's name was Michael Horan which is stated on the Marriage Cert i got from Rootsireland and asked where she was living at the time just stated Belfast, i Cant seem to find her on Census forms for 1901 or 1911. William and Kathryn we know lived around the Fountainville Area in Gilnahirk, but that is all we know.
If anyone could help me out i would very much appreciate it. Many Thanks, Philip
