Buncrana - McClure/Baldrick
« on: Thursday 08 October 15 06:59 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to get in contact with anyone who is the descendant of Elizabeth McClure (1847-1919) and George Baldrick (1838-1922).  Their children name's were George McClure Baldrick, Letitia Elizabeth Baldrick, Thomas Harwood Baldrick, William Baldrick and David Baldrick.  I am a descendant of Elizabeth's brother David McClure, who moved to Australia in 1863.

It is a long shot, but the families corresponded, and from the letters we have from Elizabeth, photos were also exchange, of which we have none for our family.

It would be great if we could share and gain more information about the day to day life of our families.  Please contact me if you can help :)

1911 census says all 6 children were living although only George, Thomas, Letita & David shown with parents- which means that there's William & 1 other to be found in 1911.
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Donegal/Buncrana/Buncrana/491881

Only 5 children in household in 1901-

Added- have managed to identify the 6 children and will post more shortly

This family has been so incredibly easy to trace using Google & Family Search that I'm really surprised that you haven't already been able to trace the family yourself (according to a post on another forum you've been looking since at least 2014 and at that time there were several descendants still alive).
