William Carroll

[kptz]

I am looking for William Carroll, born in Ballymacarrett, County Down. 

Church record has him born 17 Apr 1898 and baptized 18 Apr 1898.  Civil registration records dob as 24 Apr 1898.  I know that he married and had three children - William, Maureen and I think Albert.  It's possible the name of the wife is Amelia, but not sure.  Maureen emigrated to the US.

I am trying to find his marriage and information about his children.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Would this be William on the 1911 census?

Thanks aghadowey and rosemaryjoan for your quick responses and help.

I have the census and the information the relative has given has had many holes in it. My interest is in finding his marriage and birth of his children if possible. I have tried civil registration indices and ancestry Ireland which is where I found the baptism information but have not had any success finding his marriage.

Again, thanks and have a good day.

Since William was born in 1898 it's entirely possible that he got married after 1921 (online civil registration index only goes up to this date).

Online birth registrations only indexed up to 1921 also. If children were born after that date there's a chance they might still be living so please remember not to post details of anyone who could be living.

If Maureen went to America it might be easirer to find information about her or her children (if any) but bear in mind that Rootschat isn't a forum for tracing living relatives.

Thank you aghadowey.  I would be happy just find the marriage but at least I have his birth and baptism. Just wanted to fill in the past.  I guess to find anything more I will have to wait for the next census which I understand is not available for several more years.

Thanks again for your help.

"There was no 1921 census of Ireland... The next census both for the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland which remained part of the United Kingdom was taken in 1926. In the case of Northern Ireland, the census was taken on the night of 18/19 April 1926 with the police used as enumerators. The census for The Irish Free State was taken on the same night."

"The returns for Northern Ireland census of 1926 were apparently destroyed during World War II and those for 1937, 1951, 1961, 1971, 1981 and 1991 are now deposited in PRONI but subject to closure."
