Help Finding Arthur McKeown on 1911 Irish Census in Co. Antrim
« on: Thursday 05 September 13 21:43 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find information on my mother's grand uncle, Arthur McKeown (born 30 Sept. 1855) in Tamlaght Rasharkin, County Antrim, Northern Ireland in the 1911 Irish Census and his siblings.
 
Brothers and sisters would have included Rose McKeown born 10 Sept. 1876, Margaret McKeown born July 31 1864, Mary McKeown born 27 Aug. 1873 and Edward McKeown born 13 Jun 1871, Matilda McKeown born 4 Apr 1880.

Their parents would have been Arthur McKeown born about 1826 in Scotland and died 11 Jan 1886 and Sara Scullion born about 1836 in Antrim and died 17 Jan 1901 in Tamlaght Rasharkin, County Antrim.

Hello and welcome  :)

I wonder if this is him, although he has only aged 3 yrs since 1901  ;)

Hello,

Thank you for your post. The dates and most of the names don't line up with what I have.

I appreciate your post.

Did he marry? If it is the same person, he is single in 1901.

It is best to post what you already know.

I don't know. My grandmother, who was his sister, left the family and came to the US by herself in the early 1900's and I never heard her speak of the rest of her family. I only discovered that there were siblings when I found her baptismal records.

Hello again,
If you don't know that he married, I don't understand this statement.
In 1901, there is a 40 yr old Arthur in Tamlaght, Killoquin North. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Killoquin_North/Tamlaght/946753/
This would give an approximate date of birth of 1861.
The Arthur in 1911 has children named Edward and Rose which could be after siblings.
I know the age is not right but this often happens.
I wouldn't dismiss him just yet. :)

Oh, I misunderstood the citation. I am very new at this. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

What made me think it was unrelated was that I did not recognize the name of the village. They were from Rasharkin, so I was expecting to see him in Rasharkin.

Your original post said the family lived in Tamlaght and the census record is also Tamlaght- Killoquin North is the D.E.D. for that particular census.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
