Struggling to find any record of Susan Nelson leaving Ireland after 1924 (when son Samuel gave her address as Fedney).

However, I'm wondering if this death would be worth checking?
Susan Nelson, age 86, died 27 Dec.1955 Banbridge district

Just found this thread relating to Arthur Nelson.

I believe that Arthur Nelson from 32 Pandora Street married Maria McAuley, who was an elder sister of my grandfather. The address can be clearly seen on their marriage certificate of 22 June 1911.

To date I have not managed to find any additional info relating to either o them

1912 directory- 34 Pandora St. Arthur Nelson cabinet maker. Also at that address in 1918, 1924, 1932, 1939 directories but not listed there in 1943.

Thanks Aghadowey.

I think your info re Lisburn Cemetery is most probably correct - as I have their birth dates as 1870 and 1873.

Interestingly, in the 1911 Census, Arthur was declared as a boarder in 32 Pandora Street. He married Maria McAuley that same year and they then moved into no 34.

You are obviously an expert at genealogy so could you please answer a question. Why am I unable to find any record of a death certificate, even when entering the dates that you gave me.

Also, you have named sites I have never remotely heard of, but which are superb sources of information. Is there any 'list' available that can give us less experts a wee help?

Thanks Kiltaglassan, I already have that, but I have been unable to find the birth certificate of his wife Maria, who was born in 1873.

At least I have found a copy of their marriage certificate:

So he was born in 1869 and not 1870.
