In 1901 census Sarah Murray is listed in household of son, John Murray- 7 is the house number on the census form-

Looks like they moved to Herbert St. by 1911 (I was hoping they'd have stayed at same place)-

However, looking at 1911 household forms for Fountain Hill there are no actual house numbers listed. There are a few directories for Londonderry online for this period but they list only merchants & traders not every household.

  Thats what i was hoping aswell Aghadowey when id seen they moved to Herbert St. Where can i get those directories online? Once again thanks.

Ive a birth cert in 1898 Aghadowey and a death cert in 1901. The thing is the person who died in 1901 Sarah Murray, is in the 1901 census as living in her sons house at 7 fountain hill. She then died a month later and the address is 19 Old Hill which says in the cert is her sons (didnt say the sons name) house?? Confusing i know but has to around this area somewhere!! I was thinking maybe they used to call Fountain hill this but surely they wouldnt have mixed the numbers of the doors up?

Seen marraige certs of my gr. grandparents on my fathers side of the family, but whats puzzling me is that theres both a civil marraige and a church marraige certs. The church marraige was in 1897 in waterside RC church and the civil one is for the same day. In both certs it says by the rev. Gribbons but in the church one it also says 'Disp in banns'. Anybody know is this just normal practice?

Just to add, in the church cert it says under Denomination, both Roman Catholics and in the civil cert it says both Registrar District???

Hi captainbeecher. I cant give you any extra information than you already have about Robert Sherrard but his brother Matthew is my great, great grandfather. Let me know if you want any information on him.

Hi folks, i was wondering if theres any records about for postmen circa 1870 - 1900. Found out that my great, great grandfather on my fathers side of the family was a local postman in the waterside area of the town. Would it be under the Royal Mail or An Post, and does anybody know do they keep records of their employees from that far back? All help greatly appreciated, thank you.
