Hi

Christian names/birthyears/birthplaces needed please

Online censuses are indexed alphabetically - not by address

If you have them on the 1881 census - please post FULL details from that entry

Thanks for your response, unfortunately the only info I have is that of the  name Daniel Drynan and that area of the town.
I have no information for either census.
I was told years ago that Daniel Drynan worked on the construction of the Transporter Bridge. There is nothing on the Tees Valley Index for him, though I do know he married Mary Elizabeth Stewart in 1913 and they had  a son called John W Drynan in 1916, can't find a marriage for them on the Tees Valley Indexes either.
However I have ordered a speculative Death Cert from Middlesbrough RO. for Daniel Drynan died aged 27 in 1922? So the 1891 Census would be irrelevent

Thanks James

I have found some more children so will send you a pm

As you will know from my pm - there is a doubt about that 1922 death cert

I have re-checked the 1891 and 1901 censuses and cannot find any Daniel Drynan.  I searched under Dry** and came up with 2 entries for Daniel Dryden both b Middlesborough and living there

One was b 1882 but I checked freebmd and his birth reg is surname Dryden

The other was aged 7 so b 1893/94 but there is no birth reg under Dryden.  His parents were David and Mary - both b Ireland and David was a worker at the rail mill

Looking generally at the surname Drynan suggests it is Scottish but I have checked the Scottish 1901 and there is no Daniel Drynan

I have just found an entry for a Daniel Drynan on the WW1 medal Roll

Daniel Drynan reg number 296749

Corp = I W & D  RE (Royal Engineers but don't know what the other stands for)

Enlisted 8.11.1916
Discharged 16.10.1917
Cause of discharge Para 392 xv1 (R/R)

EDT

JUST FOUND A WW1 SERVICE RECORD - will post details when I have looked at it as there are 11 images

[CaroleW]

Some of the documentation seems to have crossed that of a Robert McCluskey but here is the main gist of the one for Daniel.  His enlistment and discharge dates do not tie in with the Medal Roll entry

Address  6 Stony's Buildings, Albert Street Middlesbrough

Regiment Name: Yorkshire Regt  joined 12.1.1915 discharged 21.6.1915 - not likely to become an efficient soldier - medical grounds

Regiment Number: 19623 
Age 22yrs 1mth (so birthyear around 1892)
British subject
Married
Occ - rigger at ironworks
previously served in Northumberland Fusiliers
Wife Mrs Mary Elizabeth Drynan nee Stewart married 15.11.1913
Son David b 6.1.1914

When you get the marriage cert - I wonder will his father be David

Hello Carole and James

There is also a WW1 Pension Record for him giving the witnesses at the marriage - but Middlesbrough has been transcribed as Weadleslow so it might not be immediately apparent.

It is interesting and perhaps relevant that in 1928 a death is registered in Middlesbrough for a David Drynan aged 74, which would mean he was born c1854.

David Dryden (the father of Daniel Dryden born c1892) as shown on the 1901 census was born c1854 according to that census. It would be interesting to find that family on the 1891 census to see what their surname is on there but my attempts to do so have so far failed.

The death certificate for Mary E Drynan aged 37 in the third quarter of 1930 in Middlesbrough should indicate whether Daniel was still alive then or not. The GRO reference is 9d 577. There does not seem to be a death registration for a Daniel Drynan, as such, after 1916. It looks like he either died in another country or he is listed under another name (possibly Dryden ?)
