Kennedy:Aghadowey Ireland census

[seekthem]

Can anyone help me with the 1901 or 1911 census for Kennedy. All I have on the Kennedy side of the family is:  Mary Elizabeth Kennedy born 8th April, 1893 at Keely District of Aghadowey father James mother Nancy Craig.  I know Mary had a sister Josephine and a brother.  Mary moved to Paisley and married in 1914 and might not be in the 1911 census but I know her family still lived in Aghadowey as she often went over to Ireland to visit them.
Thanks

Seekthem:
I suggest that you post this on the Derry Board so more people will see it.
There are several Aghadowneys in Ireland but it looks like yours is in Derry near Coleraine. I did find this item.

1ST GARVAGH PRESBYTERIAN RECORDS, BOOK 1 Parish of Errigal
50 #99 Groom: James Kennedy of Aghadowey, son of Robert
Date: 21 Jan 1891

Here are a few sites you might want to check.

Pat
absolutely brilliant link, just thought i would say so again.

I found the marraige of my 3xg.grandparents..
Alexander Kennedy who married Elizabeth Workman on 1 September 1863 at Aghadowey, Derry. (previosly only had a submitted date from IGI)

Also from the site i found their grave at Aghadowey Parish Church Graveyard, plot 239.

so many thanks for that link.

Now i am looking for the marraige of John Hogg and Mary Jane Gamble (whos daughter Mary was born 25 Aug 1864 in Garvagh), would also be great to find their grave.

as yet, I havent had time to read the whole site, as there is soooooooo much information there.

wonder who transcribed all that info, it must have taken a VERY long time to do

thanks again Gill

Wonderful Gill!
I just took a quick look at the Vital Index and didn't see those two listed but some others. You are right! The Gambles, Kennedys and Hoggs did like each other.
