Charles McQuaid b. 1884 in Tullynichrin, Trillick, Tyrone married Susan Toland in Dromore on 15th Aug 1911. Charles' father was James and mother Sarah Jane Maguire. I cannot find any census records for these people, though there is a pretty close listing under Camus, Strabane area. I don't know what would taken them there, if it is them at all but I'd still love a few leads here, especially on his father and mother - James and Sarah Jane.

Religion?

Sorry, RC
Have got Charles and Susans birth/marriage details but nothing on James or Sarah Jane.

Easily found in 1901 if you search for the townland-

There are also McGrades in same townland likely connected.
James still there in 1911 and luckily he filled out form incorrectly which will give you more clues-

42 yrs married 1911, so you can check Civil reg for Marriage.
12 children, 6 living. They could be in Civil Reg too.

I'm a bit green between the ears - whats the clues you refer to above?
-
Only Sarah Jane, his son was there in 1911.
He aged quite a bit in 10 years!
-
The 1911 census says (mistakenly as this was asked of women, not men) how many years married, how many children & how many living. Therefore, you have an approximate date of marriage and can start looking for it and all the children's births and deaths in vital records-

Aghadowey, many thanks for that - I did catch on yesterday. I've been searching most of last night and managed to get 8 births, can't seem to get the other three. I have John, Terence, Bridget, Margaret, Charles, Sarah Anne, James Joseph and William. When I locate the remaining births I can start working on the deaths.

In cases like this I use GRONI's database to find possible children with father's surname & mother's maiden name (sometimes need to search with variants or first 3 letters) and then go to Irish Genealogy searching under that spelling of surname for that years plus or minus one year.

Thanks for the tip.
Earlier, you mentioned a McGrade living in the same downland who were possibly related.
Can you elaborate on this, with links if possible

I browsed the townland for your McQuaids and when I sorted the inhabitants alphabetically by surname I saw the McGrades- you can easily find them using surname and townland in both 1901 and 1911.

I don't get it - how are the McQuades and McGrades related?
-
I've seem McQuade and McGrade used for same family before so possibly related. Since both wives were McGuire/Maguire then perhaps they are connected (although such a common surname in that area can't jump to any conclusions there).
-
Another interesting observation I found that the family were recorded as McQuade in baptism etc but later reverted to McQuaid.
