Duffy Family of Cable Street Derry
« on: Sunday 04 November 12 22:09 GMT (UK) »
My great-grandfather, Arthur Duffy appears with his family in the 1901 and 1911 censuses living at 10 Cable Street, Derry.  Spouse was Margaret Kelly and children included Martha, Edward and Alexander (my grandfather).  Arthur was born around 1858 in County Derry.  Anyone have any knowledge of how to find further info?

Many thanks for the info regarding my great-grandparents wedding.  Can I ask where you found the info?  They seemed very young to be marrying, but perhaps not for the 19thC.

Thanks again

For reference here are links to census records-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/No__4_Urban__West_Ward/Cable_Street/1536651
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Londonderry/Londonderry_Urban__4_/Cable_Street/602856
Note that Arthur was 45 in 1901 but 63 in 1911 so age is not accurate.

Marriage certificate should list father's name and occupation.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Arthur and Margaret both had fathers called Edward, Edward Duffy, who was a labourer and Edward Kelly, a tailor.
