I am looking for the birth record of an Annie Wasson daughter of Samuel Wasson. She married a Robert Martin on 1st October 1908 in Clare Church, County Tyrone. The marriage record would suggest that Annie was born 1887/1888. Annie's address on the marriage records looks like Clone but I cannot be certain. There is a birth record registered in Magherafelt for a Nancy Wasson born 31st January 1888, father is Samuel Wasson and mother is Margaret Kevin. I'm not sure if this birth record would be the one that I'm looking for. What do you think?

There is a Maggie Wasson as witness have you looked to see if couple you found have a daughter Margaret, likely given the mother's name but was she unmarried in 1908.
Also keep a note of the father's occupations on the certs.

On The same page as the marriage you will see that the two witnesses married each other
Thomas Black and Maggie Wasson with a Hugh Wasson as witness

That census record for Annie is right, the links are the birth registrations for Margaret, Thomas and Hugh Wasson. All of them are children of Samuel Wasson and Margaret Kevin. The only thing is they are registered in Magherafelt and Samuel is a Blacksmith rather than a Farmer.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGZM-TWC
they dont appear to have had any children during civil registration
perhaps for some reason unknown she decided to revert back to her maiden name

I'd be happy at this stage to say we think that is the correct birth record.
dathai,I'd just made a cuppa and was about to look for Lucy's death. :D

There was possibly another sister name ? and brother William born circa 1883 ?
William Wasson married a German girl 1913 Magdelina Lee widow nee Yopp in Manhattan,New York
said his parents were Samuel Wasson and Margaret Keevan
Robert and family also emigrated circa 1910
Hugh has a few travel documents between Canada and America on one he says he is going to brother in law John Church and another to brother Thomas Wasson
found these on Family Search Historical Records by entering just Wasson born Ireland 1870 to 1886 and Country United States

Having extended Hugh's age a bit 1888 on the search i found him returning to his sister in law Annie Church 123 South 23rd St, Philadelphia, Penn .
This was on 14th April 1923 on board ''Cameronia'' from Londonderry, Hugh a Linesman gave his next of kin as Mrs Margaret Wasson ,Sherrygroom,Newmills,Dungannon.
I take it from this that John Church and Hugh Wasson married sisters.
In Feb/March 1931 the family left Belfast on board ''Transylvania'' for New York
Hugh 44 born Ireland
Margaret 40 born Ireland
Samuel 16 date of birth given as 9th Dec 1914 Philadelphia, Penn
Hugh 13
Archie 9
Robert 7
Returning to
