Please stick with me on this one.
On the 1901 census there is an Ellen Loughlin boarding with my great grandmother Catherine Loughlin at House 145 Sion Mills. On the 1911 census Ellen with her child Francess Olive Loughlin appears to have gone to live with her sister in law Catherine Loughlin at 27 Main Street, Sion Mills. Who was Francess Olives father?
At 27 Main Street there is also a William Loughlin who I know was in Coatbridge, Scotland in 1912 (Ulster Covenant). My great Aunt Margaretta married a William Loughlin who I am led to believe was a cousin. I know Margaretta, her spouse, my grandmother and more of their siblings end up in Coatbridge so I am presuming this is the William Loughlin Margaretta Loughlin married.
In 1901 Catherine (not my ggrandmother, the other Catherine Loughlin), William plus other children including an eldest son Robert are at House 5 Scotstown, Urney. I mention Robert as my great grandfather was Robert Loughlin as was my great great grandfather.
The thing is I believe my great grandfather only had one brother Samuel who I think married Ellen Aitchison (my great grandmother was Catherine Aitchison, I had put Ellen and Catherine down as cousins, different father on IGI).
So could William and Margaretta be second cousins not cousins? This is just guesswork, dangerous I know. Coincidentally (or perhaps not) at House 142 Sion Mills there is a Jane and Susan Aitchison boarding with a John and Rebecca Loughlin (my grandmother was Rebecca Loughlin), do not know where they fit into the picture.
I don’t really have a point to this post just thought putting it down in writing may make it clearer in my head and perhaps someone might have some observations.
