Hi Artisann
Full Age would mean 21+

Thanks Geoff for your reply and putting me right :)
-
On the Irish 1901/1911 Census there are many variations of Campbell
Have you tried these Cambell, Cambill, Camble, Campell, etc?
You can use the wild card Cam* to try
What age was John in 1901?
Is Elizabeth his wife?
-
Thanks Myluck will give that a go :)
-
Have you searched 1901 and 1911 census for Elizabeth? (this would give you an idea of her age)
Is John Campbell Elizabeth's father? Marriage certificates don't always indicate if a father is already deceased. Any idea what religion teh family would have been? The only John Campbell in Co. Roscommon in 1901 that I could find who is possibly old enough to be Elizabeth's father is this one-

Thank you for your reply
-
Yeh Aghadowey I had seen that John Campbell maybe thats the one
thank you for all your help
-
What's Elizabeth's residence from marriage certificate, father's occupation and names of the witnesses?
-
I was just going to ask the same questions as Aghadowey.
Do you have Elizabeth in 1911 - is she definitely born in Roscommon?
-
Residence: Ognlla
in the presence of Michael Banahan and Kate Reynolds
John Campbell: Farmer
Thank you :)
-
"Ognlla" would be the townland of Ogulla in Ogulla civil parish (Strokestown Poor Law Union).
-
I think the place is Ogulla- there are no Campbells there though in 1901.
However and whether this has any bearing on this matter, I don't know.
1901 census has a Reynolds family at house no 15 Bridge Street Strokestown - Kate though is only 9 yrs so won't be the witness
There is a Campbell family at house no 13 Bridge Street. The mother Anne is a widow.
There is a birth though on Family Search for a Michael (similar age to the one in this household and the parents are Charles and Anne :-\)
-
Sorry for sounding so stupid...
I have been told the family came from Strokstown....marriage cert states Union of Strokstown aswell..
What is the poor law union aghadowey?
Thank you Heywood for that info
:)
-
Residence: Ognlla
in the presence of Michael Banahan and Kate Reynolds
John Campbell: Farmer
Thank you :)
what is Elizabeth's married name please? (Have I missed it?)
-
I was wondering about her husband's name also :)
See here to read about Poor Law Unions- (in Ireland most of the PLUs are the same as the civil registration district):

-
Sorry Heywood Elizabeth married Thomas Banahan
I also have what i think is thomas's Father Michael Banahan born about 1833 married to a Mary Flannagan do you think this is the same one that you found on family search
thank you again :)
-
Griffiths Valuation has Banahan and variations and also Reynolds Ogula parish but no Campbells.
-
Thanks Aghadowey :)
-
Michael on family search was a Campbell not a Banahan.
.
Where are Elizabeth and Thomas in 1901 and 1911?
There is a Michael, unmarried with parents Thomas and Mary in 1901, living Annaghbeg, Annaghmore which I think is the right area
-
Is this Thomas and Elizabeth in 1911? (her age given as 39 so born c1872)

-
Elizabeth & Thomas are in Listenmult Roscommon in 1911
and yes thats the right one as i have Thomas's birth cert born in 1868 Annaghbeg father Michael and mother Mary
-
