1901 Census lookup Belfast, McDonald
« on: Tuesday 14 September 04 05:52 BST (UK) »
Hello There,

I would very much appreciate a lookup of the 1901 census for -

William & Sarah McDonald born cira 1870. Possibly living at 33 Distillery St.Belfast - but definitely in Belfast itself.

Their children included - Ernest, William,Samuel,Gertrude & Herbert.

Samuel Mcdonald was my father and was born circa 1890. I have been unable to locate a copy of his birth certificate yet. The GRO are still searching so it would appear that the age on his death certificate is incorrect.

William McDonald's occupation was given as 'Linen Lapper' on Samuel's marriage certificate.

Any information appreciated,
Regards
Jena

 ;) Hi Jena William McDonald died on 6/8/1940 at 33 Distillery Street aged 74 that means he was born 1866 the GRO hold birth index's back to 1864.

                                            Good luck
