James Morrow SLOANE

[Jo Sunbeam]

Hi all

i am looking for the family a bit more towards the mid 20th Century.

I have William Cooke Nelson SLOANE born 1864, Ballyrush, Comber married to Sara DOUGLAS.  I have found them living in 1901 and 1911 censuses and at 81 Castlereagh Street on the Ulster Covenant Record of 1912 but have lost him from then onwards.  He was an agent, but he trained to be a Doctor and then became a Pharmaceutical Agent instead so he may not have passed.

He had three children that i have found so far, all born in County Down.

James M SLOANE born Newtownards 1896/7 (This is written in 1911 census as looking like a U but i am sure it is an M)
Alice SLOANE born 1899
Jane Smith Harris SLOANE born 1901.

I have found reference to a James Morrow SLOANE born last quarter of 1896 in County Down as a Doctor Qualifying in 1923 and becoming a Captain Surgeon in the Navy? in 1948. (London Gazette).  His address was listed as Whiterock, Killinchy, Belfast.

I would love to trace James and William if possible.

Cheers Jo

Jo,
   I can find the marriage of William Cooke Nelson Sloane to Sarah Blair on 21 Feb 1896 in St. Annes Church of Ireland, Shankill, Belfast. Sarah seems to have been a widow whose maiden name was Douglas. I can find the marriage of Sarah Douglas to James Blair in Newtownards on 28 Jul 1879.

Thank you very much.

I have just looked at the 1911 census again and she was three years older than him.  I wonder if she had other children?? to James Blair.

Cheers
