That 1901 census return at reply #21 indicates that Annie McKee and family were in the 44th house enumerated in Burnaby Street, which doesn't automatically read across to street number, but when you look at the names in the other households enumerated in that street, there seems to be some measure of correlation between them and the names against street numbers in the 1901 Belfast street directory. With that in mind, note the following listing under Burnaby Street in the 1901 directory: 44. McKee, James, sailor

Burnaby Street intersected with Roden Street, so I wondered about the following death of a 44 year old bachelor called James McCabe in 1902, he was an R.I.C. constable and died in the workhouse (presumably infirmary), but was described as being 'from Roden St.', which I'm thinking might simply mean c/o the police barracks in that street:

I know this is speculative stuff, but it's starting to look like we also need to think outside the convention of a marriage and children born within wedlock.

I'm struggling to gain any traction on the McCabe side.  The 1915 civil marriage registration indicated John James' birth c. 1890 and named his father as James McCabe, a policeman in the R.I.C. A transcript of the St. Malachy's church record of that same marriage added into the mix the name of his mother as Annie McKinstry. The relevant 1911 Ireland Census return showed Annie as a widow, born in Co. Antrim c. 1867 and married c. 1887, with all 3 children born in Belfast - c. 1894 (Kathleen), c. 1892 (John James) and c. 1890 (Mary).

I can't yet find a marriage for James McCabe (there is one of a so named policeman to an Anna Meek in St. Malachy's Belfast in 1886, but I can't see how it would fit). I can't yet find a 1901 Ireland Census return for the McCabes. I can't yet find births for John James or his sisters. So fresh eyes needed I think, in case I'm looking but just not seeing.


One day on and I'm still none the wiser about the McCabe side, this really ought not to be so difficult, so I'm starting to smell a rat.  The only thing I did find was the following return in the 1901 Ireland Census, if you ignore the big anomalies in age (par for the course back then) and focus instead on the names and birth places, I could almost swear that this is the same family as in 1911, but calling themselves McKee rather than McCabe:

Other than that, I've found nothing.

... But have a look at this a death notice in 2021 if this is daughter of "Eliza Joab" she would be well over
100 years old wend she died.


It says that she was born McNeill, so at first glance I'm assuming that this was a granddaughter of Eliza Joab, as in the daughter of Henry McNeill and Mary Joab who married in 1930 as per reply #12 above.

And again in the Howth RC parish registers, the marriage of John Waldron and Elizabeth Hagerty took place on 30 January 1837... not unexpectedly for that era, the only other information is the names of the witnesses - George Thunder? and Margaret Waldron:

Catherine Waldron was clearly born pre-civil birth registration, however there's a promising baptismal record in the Howth RC parish registers, born 2 January 1855, baptised 6 January, parents John Waldron and Eliza Haggerty, living at the 'Hill of Howth', John Doyle and Marianna McNally were the sponsors:

Back to the parents of Alice McGrath, I think this may be the mother Catherine's Waldron's death in 1899:

And this may be the father James McGrath's death in 1907:
