Norris / McCorkell - Derry

[norbunt]

Hi, There was a posting about this some time ago but I am starting a new posting as mine is slightly different. I hope that this is okay ? 

Thomas Norris (Norry) and Matilda McCorkell were married in 1867. They had 8 children Mary Ann (1870), Rebecca (1871), John (1872), Matilda (1874), Thomas (1876), Robert (1879), Maria (1880) and Sarah (1882).  In the 1901 census Matilda is shown as widowed and John is Head of the Household. John was my grandfather and he got married in 1902 to Mary Craig. I am interested to know when Thomas and Matilda died and what happened to John's siblings. I cannot trace them in the 1911 census.

Also does anyone knows anything about the parents of Thomas and Matilda?  Her father was James McCorkell of Dundrain. Does anyone know her mother's name?  Any help will be appreciated.

Just to fill in details from other thread (and yes, in this case it's fine to start a new topic)-
Londonderry Sentinel, 26 Feb.1867: February 21, in the Ballyarnet Presbyterian Church, by the Rev. R. McCreery, Mr. Thomas Norry, Ballymagroarty, to Matilda, daughter of Mr. James McCorkell, Dundrain.

The family (Matilda and children) is here in 1901

Thanks for adding that Aghadowey.  I have now had another look at the earlier thread and realise that Rebecca is not part of this family. I only added her because of that thread.  The rest of the family are correct as per the 1901 census.
