ANDERSON'S OF L/DERRY

[Geoff786]

Hi there , well here is maybe a link . My ancestors were at 24 Bennett William Anderson and family 1911
Census. Not sure if lower Bennett is a different street. If not seems like allot of Anderson’s resided on Bennett . William was my great grand uncle.

'Maryderry' at reply #2 mentioned the same family in 1901:

As she said, they (William and Catherine) look like the parents of the Robert at no. 20 Bennett Street in 1911, here's a birth that fits in 1880, the mother's surname given as Sheils:

The closest candidate I can find thus far for a possible marriage for this couple is this one in 1879, the groom was stated as Robert rather than William Anderson (but signed as William), the bride was Catherine Shields:

The Londonderry Sentinel of 26 February 1925 carried a death notice for William Anderson of 34 Lower Bennett Street who died on 24 February, saying that his remains were to be interred in Moneyreagh Burying Ground.

I can see a marriage on 27 June 1928 for William and Catherine's son William to a Mary Patterson, it was in the Registrar's Office in Derry, William was described as a bachelor, a factory worker living at 34 Lower Bennett Street, the son of William Anderson a shirt maker, spinster Mary's address was Ardmore, her father given as John Patterson a bleacher, the witnesses were James Anderson and Ella Robinson.

Also a possible marriage for William and Catherine's daughter Isabella Anderson at Ebrington Presbyterian Church on 8 August 1922, the groom was John McLaughlin of Derry, a bachelor and a 'Special' by occupation (police), his father's details were not provided, the bride was Isabella Anderson of Bennett Street, spinster, the daughter of William Anderson, his occupation given as  'shipyard', the witneses were Joseph A. W. Reaney and Margaret McLaughlin.   

Also a possible marriage for William and Catherine's daughter Jane Anderson to a James Lee at the same church the previous year:

Maybe I made a mistake , I looked at the census and it does say 24 Bennett for my William Anderson and family. To keep it simple he is my grandmothers uncle. The last entry in the census is my Great Great Gran. So, if it’s them , I can connect some dots for who ever is looking to know a little about the Anderson’s. I’m just confused if it’s the same street as originally mentioned

That household is not at 24 Bennett St. 24 is the number assigned by the enumerator. The actual street address is 49 Bennett St. as shown on this part of the form-
