I did see the 1901 posting. I should have said 1891. I was trying to find my grandmother's (Matilda A. McKeown) family while her mother (Sara (Scullion) McKeown) was still living.

There is no 1891 census- the first complete census for Ireland is 1901 (it and 1911 are online). For earlier years only small fragments for a few areas survive (such as the 1851 bit for some of County Antrim).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Oh, I see. That's a shame. For my purposes, it would probably be ideal if there were one from 1881. My grandmother (Matilda A. McKeown) was born in 1880 and her father (Arthur McKeown) died in 1886. So he would still be alive. Her mother (Sara Scullion) lived until 1901, so she would still be alive, and the rest of the family would have been there.

Yes, 1881 would have been wonderful to see for you, but alas, it isn't to be.

Can I check - were you aware that Matilda was apparently heading to a sister, Mary McKeown, when she went to US ?

No! Where did you find that? I had never heard anything about a sister in the US and I am certain that neither my mother, nor either of her two sisters new anything about one.

I did look in the US National Archives in the records for immigration and found a record for the White Star Line at Boston with the record saying, if memory serves me, a Maggie (or possibly Margaret) McKeown, but the age and dates were right for my grandmother so I took it to be her and that the name difference was the work of the immigration officer.

I didn't mean to say, "No" you could not check. I was just exclaiming "No" I had never heard that!

Matilda travelled on the ship 'State of Nebraska' in 1899. Surname mis-transcribed both on outbound schedule and arrival manifest, but is her, as home address was Tamlaght. She left from Londonderry and arrived on October 11th.

Which census year do you have her on that says 'Scotland' for her father's birthplace?

It was on the 1920 US Census.

What is the information that you found relating to her sister Mary and where was she in the US?
