Have you looked for them in 1901 or 1911 Census of Ireland?

Yes Dave,
My Davidson (William) had moved to England in 1901 and was back in Belfast in 1911 but I was trying to go back to a previous generation and find out where they lived in Monaghan.  I have  a marriage cert for William but it just gives a Dublin address where he had board and lodgings while he worked there. Thanks for reply

Well Drumbier looks like it's the family home.

Hi Dave
Not sure if my post was sent, thanks a lot. It looks like they are in the 1901 but not the 1911. I would probably need to travel to Drumbear ? in monaghan to get church records etc.  I made the assumption that Davidson would originally have come from Scotland and it would be interesting to see if I can go back a bit further if I can get earlier records.  Very new to this but its so interesting

Apologies...Drumbear it is!

I had started out with the Bradford name (Ematris parish) and am now interested in a Robinson connection:  John Robinson, of Doon, Aghadrumsee in Fermanagh, son of Thomas Robinson, farmer, married Mary Bradford at Dartrey on 7 July 1857.   Have you researched this Robinson family?  In particular, what happened to John and Mary?

I've very few Fermanagh folk and haven't researched in Fermanagh as such as they were on census and easy to find.

If you take them marrying age 21 you get an idea of their birth year, then check 1901 census for them..


http://www.rootschat.com/links/0afw/ for example.   http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/   Select 1901 put in Surname, County, then age 65 will you get them +/- 5 yrs,
