Which part, Sam?

Hi all,

This is my first foray into hunting for Irish ancestors, so any help or advice would be hugely appreciated.

So far I have traced the family I am researching in the 1901 and 1911 Census returns for ireland and the info I have is the following:

1911 -
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Down/Magherally/Tullyrain__Tullylish_P__/212824

In the 1901 Census the family from Henry as far as his son of the same name are listed (all around 10 yrs younger of course) and as visitors there is a Maggie McAlinden (margaret from 1911?) aged 10 and a Mary McAlinden aged 20

I was hoping somebody would be able to help me in tracing this family further back? Where would I start considering there are no earlier census returns to search. And how would I narrow down where within Co. Down / Armagh each was born (online)?

Any help or advice would be invaluable.

Many thanks,

Karen

Hi,

This is the first time I have used this site for anything other than British family tree research but I have been asked by a friend to try to get some info so here goes.

I should say right off that I have my friends permission to give her name as she is in fact trying to get the reference for her own birth registration (!) as well as details of her mother's maiden name (although I assume that the latter would be recorded on her birth certificate if she is ever able to obtain it - she has written to the Canadian department responsible and they have written back asking her for her mother's maiden name of which she is uncertain although she believes it to be a Polish name along the lines of PERZAK / PORZAK / PORZUK / PERZUK)

Anyway her name is (*) and she was born on the 1954 in Toronto, Ontario in Canada. her mother's name: L Greenberg nee PORZAK (or alternate spelling?) who she believes was born in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Any help obtaining her birth registration reference or her mother's marriage / birth details or advice on how to go about finding them would be hugely appreciated...i have tried the Library edition of Ancestry.com to no avail.

Many thanks,

Karen

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping somebody has access to a Business Directory for Hackney / East London for around 1950 as I am trying to find any information on my grandfather who worked as a milkman in 1950 in Hackney. The only other information I have for him (apart from his name) is his address in 1950 from the electoral register. I am hoping that if I contact all of the Dairies which served the Hackney area in that era I may get lucky and find his employer and any info they may still have in their archives. I have already contacted Dairy Crest (which was United Dairies)  and  The Co-op. I just wondered if anyone could look in the directory for any other Dairies of the time.

Many thanks,

Karen 

His name was Michael Osborne, but unfortunately for me he did not marry my grandmother, she married another man. All I current know of him is his address in London in 1950-1951 and with whom he stayed there from the electoral registers. Not much to go on, is it? Any suggestions? As for approx year of birth my grandmother was born in 1932 so I would hazard a very rough guess that he would have been a similar age.
