Mossley 1901 and 1911 Census for Sherrard family

[Volvic]

Would anyone be able to help me please?
I would like to know if James Sherrard and his wife Eliza Jane Sherrard, along with their children, were living in Mossley during the time of the 1901 and 1911 Census in Ireland. Mossley is in the Parish of Carnmoney, East Antrim, Co.Antrim. I tried in PRONI but it gave Carnmoney as missing in the 1901 census and they don't have the 1911 one. If you could tell me from the list of names in the "House and Building Returns" if they lived in Mossley, that would be really helpful, then I could send away to the National Archives in Dublin for a copy.

Thank you so much,
Brian.

Hi Anthony,

That was quick, thank you so much for your help in finding James Sherrard in the 1911 Census.

Best wishes,
Brian.

I had the same problem for Mossley - 1901 - Kingsbog area - it should actually be there in PRONI now - they ordered another copy - I think it may have been tacked on the end of the roll - you think you are at the end but if you go on further magically it appears!  I have a list of heads of household somewhere - I need a bit of time to hunt it out.  I ordered 1911 census of the area but I think I was only getting the fringes of Mossley.  You might also find the Mossley National School Books interesting - I found my Palmer family there.

Hi Fiona,

Thanks very much for that. I will go to PRONI and try again. I am also after info on the Blain's and Martin's from Kingsbog, so hopefully will find that out from PRONI as well. Are the Mossley National School Books kept in PRONI?

Many thanks again for your help.
Brian.

Yes they are in PRONI indeed.  I think the Martin Family rings a bell - can't put my hands on the info yet!

[Volvic]

Thanks for that Fiona. My Great-Grandmother was Phebe Martin from Kingsbog (Kingsmoss) and she married John Blain also from Kingsbog. I don't know any further back than that, except My Great-Grandfather John Blain's mother was called Agnes (as far as I can tell).

I found some of my notes - 1911 Census Mossley:  James and Eliza Jane Sherard  - I didn't record the children - Clements another surname mentioned in the house.  Married 24 years 10 Children Born 6 Alive.  Here are the list of households either side [I may have a little more info on these if anyone os interested]:

Margaret and Margaret Jane Muldoon
Michael and Mary MCCromick
Thomas George and Emily Stevenson
William And Margaret Hamill
James and Eliza Jane Sherard
Eliza Margaret Montgomery
Thomas and May Jane Hale
Joseph and Mary MCCormack
Michael and Rose Crossan
William and Agens McKinnon
Thoams James and Ellen Hamill
Francis McDonnell/Devlin

I think this might be in the Balyhenry section of Mossley in the 1911 census
It may have been close to the Cairns/Kearns family - do you know about any of the families in this area especially them?
