Just re-visiting the Loughlins again and members were so helpful last time I thought I would cheekily ask again to find a missing record. I said previously I thought Themas’s father and my great grandfather died in 1900 but this can not be right as the record says widower. Robert Loughlin’s youngest child Annie was born in 1896 at Stoney Falls. In the 1901 census the family minus Robert are in Sion Mills. So I presume he had died between these dates. Robert was of full age when he married Catherine Aitchison in 1876 so He would have to be born prior to 1855 ( if I am right thinking full age is 21) I can only see three death records for a Robert Loughlin in Strabane in the time frame, the one in 1900 which has Robert as a widow, one in 1898 with an age of 37 so too young and one 1895 again 37 giving a year of birth around 1858, if full age is 18 this might be a possible however my problem is place of death is given as Sion Mills. Could he have died in Sion Mills still residing in Stoney Falls or is like Tomas’s birth the dearh of Robert is just not on the civil records?
