searching for children against mothers first name

[richardanthony]

Is there a way of searching for children born in scotland against mothers first name.
I am looking for two brothers James Flynn approx b1902 from irish census records and John Flynn approx b1904 from irish census records. Father was James Flynn and mothers first name is Susan. Susan is from Co Leitrim unsure about James Flynn senior. According to irish census the children were born in Scotland but later went to Armagh, Ireland

Forgot to say there was also another child who died but i dont know name etc

The short answer is, for the time period you are interested in, no.

Where were they in the 1911 census, how old were the parents, where was James Flynn senior born and what was his occupation, were there any Irish-born children?

In fact, why not just tell us everything that is in that census so we have all the infomation you have?

Susan Finn (Flynn) & 2 sons (both born Scotland) in Armagh in 1911- husband James not in household (her 1930s death certificate lists him as baker but son's 1920s marriage certificate says he was labourer). No known children born in Ireland and marriage not found in Ireland.

Here's the original thread-

There is a census for 1901 ...

Lodging House, 6 Baker Street, Hawick, Roxburghshire.
James Finn, 38, Baker (Journeyman)b Ireland
Susan Finn, 28, wife, formerly Waitress
James Finn, 18 mths, son, b Jennbartern, Dunshe

Puzzle: James Finn, 18 mths - the place of birth?     Just doesn't make sense.

P.S.   Wonder if it is Dunbartonshire?

Brilliant find. Could James be born Dunbartonshire? Might be one of those transcriptions where original image needs to be viewed on SP.
Bonhill was district mentioned as possibility on the original thread- think that would be Dunbartonshire? although I can't see birth 1899 there

Is that the original or a transcription?

Forfarian,
               After finding it on Ancestry, I was so puzzled by that place of birth that I dipped into it on Scotlands People, and that is what it appears to say in writing on the original census for 1901.

Can you post the relevant bit here?

There aren't any births of James F*nn in Dunbartonshire in 1898/1900 that I can see. And as he isn't with his mother in 1911, and there is another child named James, it looks as if he must have died young, but I haven't spotted an obvious candidate.
