Antrim / Joseph James Houston
« on: Tuesday 10 December 13 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with this one?

I have a Joseph James Houston (my G G Grandfather) born on 9th January 1866 (along with twin brother Samuel) in St. Patrick’s parish/district of Belfast, parents Samuel and Margaret.  Also his marriage to Margaret Anne Duffy on 8th May 1884 in Belfast.

Have the family on both the 1901 census (Parkview Street in Shankhill) and 1911 census (Butler Street).

What I can’t find is any record of his death.  Can anybody help?

Stephen,

thanks so much that's brilliant, and much appreciated.  :)

I think I may now have found Richard on the 1911 census.  There's a Richard Williams aged 24 with a street address of Cidenbern in Llanberis?  His occupation is Railway Engine Stoker so it's looking very likely and he's single and about the right age.  I'm looking into the marriage of Richard Williams to Lizzie Roberts in 1913 that Roger mentioned earlier.

Other household members are

Thomas (Head)
Ann (Wife)
Ann (Daughter)
William (Son)
Henry (Grandson)

Thanks to everyone with the help and guidance so far!!

Monaghan / Carson / Nesbitt in Monaghan

Hi folks,

currently researching my ancestors on my mother's side and hit a bit of a brick wall!

I'll give as much info as I can but basically I can't get any further back than my g.g.grandparents.

Their names are James Carson and Anne Jane Nesbitt, married in Ahabog on 28th March 1860.  James was apparently a farmer.  I have no details other than James father was also James, and Anne's father was William Nesbitt.

Shortly afterwards they moved to Scotstown and had three children I know about:

William, born in Scotstown 24th September 1864
Sarah, born in Scotstown 22nd July 1868
James, born in Scotstown 5th January 1870

William was my g. grandfather, married Helen Hart and at some point shortly after 1903 he moved to Kilbirnie in Ayrshire (possibly via Motherwell or Lanarkshire somewhere!).  I know this because my Grandfather Robert Carson was born in Ireland in 1903 but moved to Scotland at a very young age.

If anyone is researching the same family or has any pointers I would be glad to hear it!

Thanks

Paul

Thanks so much for all of the info - that helps now that I know none of the children were around in 1911 so won't appear on any census results. 

Just need to establish when Richard and Elizabeth were married to determine whether they would appear in the same household or not.

Thanks again   :)

Stephen,

Wow, if you can find out anything it would be much appreciated!

My Gran, Eleanor, did indeed move to Scotland - Johnstone in Renfrewshire.  She died in 1996.  My Dad was born in Llanberis at Goodman Street and spent his first few years there before moving to Scotland.

I have vague memories of coming to Llanberis as a child myself with my parents in the seventies for a visit - I'm sure we stayed at Aunt Nancy's in Goodman Street.  Nancy died in 2005.

Thanks very much - anything you can provide no matter how trivial, would be a great help!

Hi Carol,

thanks that's useful information.  We can't find a record for the death of Margaret's first husband, William Gibson.  Their youngest child was born around 1863/64 so if Margaret remarries in 1869 that narrows the search window!  :)

Thanks Roger, the baptism looks interesting, as does the marriage.  I'll look into these.

I've looked at so many census records and I did notice there are a few candidates on Goodman Street, but there was so many Williams and Roberts families and no way I could see to provide a definite link.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers
