Tyrone / Re: Aitchison Census entry.

If William and Annie where the parents they would both be in their late forties/fifties when these children where born. I was trying to find who my great grandmother’s mother was and noticed this family. I think they will be connected but do not know how. I think I am going to try and do a spreadsheet of all these Tyrone Aitchisons.

It’s not obvious who the parents where.

Thanks never thought to look at 1911. Unusual for none of them to be married.

Tyrone / Aitchison Census entry.

On this entry we have Annie as head of household 31 not married, then the rest of the household are all sons and daughter all too old to be Annie’s sons and daughter. Is Annie a sister rather than a step mother?

When I saw this my first thought was she needs to get on Rootschat, they will solve the mystery.

Scotland / Re: Is Mackdonald the same as Macdonald?

If you put Mackdonald in as a search on Irish Genealogy there are only four results. I am guessing it is a miss spelling. On the same page there are Mc names so It looks like whoever was registering sounded it as Mac(k)

I’ve never managed to get my head round the school TB testing in the 60s. If I remember correctly, I had the first injection, in the forearm, twice. Whilst the other brats were running round comparing the size of their “lumps”, the injections never gave me the slightest reaction and I was neither sent for an x-ray nor given a further inoculation.

I don’t know if was for TB but I had the same experience I had the initial jag but there was no reaction so didn’t have the follow up I was led to believe the initial jag showed I had a natural immunity so didn’t need the second course so avoided the scar.

For how long was TB a major issue? So many people seemed to die from it.

All girls that doesn’t help much with guessing the father. Jumping to conclusions but I get a distinct English, perhaps middle class vibe from the names. Also they were Episcopalian, I wonder if the MacArthurs had been in England for a while.
