Higginson at Garadice , Leitrim

[lorrainec]

Hello all!
I am looking for Jane Higginson.  Last we see, she is on the 1911 census with her grand daughter, Charlotte Thomas.
Both live at 22 Lahard, Garadice Leitrim.

Where is Garadice?

I am still trying to find a birth cert for Jane, who's maiden name was Tynon.

Are there any sources for Leitrim after 1911 that I could try to trace Jane and Charlotte?

Thanks!
Lorraine

Garadice is the Electoral District DED, the important detail is the name of the townland - i.e. Lahard. This consists of about 151 acres, and is in the civil parish of Oughteragh (not to be confused with the town of the same name in Co. Galway). It is located just north east of the town of Ballinamore.

The BMD Index on the FamilySearch website covers Southern Ireland up to 1958, so you can check for later events there. The registration district for the area was Bawnboy.

Jane is age 67 on the 1911 return, so if her age is accurate then she was born well before the start of civil birth records in 1864, so there will be no birth cert available for her.

Her place of birth is listed as Roscommon, so you'd need to trace back to see if you can establish a parish of birth for her, so you can check if baptism records are available.
