Title: Kathleen MCILROY
Post by: theolddear on Wednesday 07 November 18 07:25 GMT (UK)
Kathleen was born in1892. Her parents were John and Marion.  I have her marriage to Stanley Hopkirk Monard and have been able to find Dr in the census of 1911 and 1901. From those I can see that John was bornin1858.  Now I am stuck.  Is there anywhere else I can look?

Are you thinking that the John and Marion as witnesses on the marriage cert are her folks?

There is a John marrying a Marion Beattie in 1886, he is 27 and an estate agent, as is the John on Kathleen’s cert.

You can view the cert online:

John MCILROY to Marion BEATTIE 11 November 1886 ID 2384330 Newtownards

Thank you all. I had looked on that website and put in the name but nothing had come up. I obviously don't have the magic touch.  I will look again and see if I can get further back.

You know the District so you need to try Mc*lroy  and Mc *lroy for that District to allow for variations in spelling and a space after Mc and no space.

PRONI Valuation books

We know the McIlroys are living in Ballywilliam in 1911, so I searched the valuation books and noted a Marion McIlroy as the tenant from 1905

https://apps.proni.gov.uk/Val12B/ImageResult.aspx

The landlord appears to be a Michael DELACHEROIS

The public records office might include some information about the McIlroys as tenents
https://apps.proni.gov.uk/eCatNI_IE/ResultDetails.aspx

Especially this
 D2489/10
 
Level :  Item
 
Access :  Open
 
Title :  Bundle of documents relating to the Delacherois
 
Dates :  1836-1926
 
Description :  Bundle of documents relating to the Delacherois family, The Manor House, Donaghadee, Co. Down. The documents include title deeds and leases, between the Delacherois family and various other individuals for properties in Donaghadee.


As John McIlroy was a rent agent, estate papers might be significant for finding information on him -- but you have to know who he worked for first

For Reference purposes

AS found by OP

and as per the street directory

Also there seems to be a
