'Malcam' McFadden (transcribed as age 11 but original looks like 17) 'servant' in Taggart household in 1911-

I looked 1911 census and wonder if he is one and same and the 11 on 2011 census was bad 17.  No word of father here though.  Under McFadden household Drumtullagh.

Commonwealth War Graves entry- Son of Mrs. Jane McFadden, of Mosside, Stranocum, Co. Antrim. Died 1916 and age given as 23 so born c1893 which is a big diffrence from 1911 census!

Did you mean to post something? all that's come up is my post incorrectly quoted 

[Sandel1]

Sorry Aghadowey - was trying to pick up that addition about Malcolm from 1901 census, don't know what happened, have L plates on as yet with this system!

[aghadowey]

Yes, all a bit confusing trying to find Malcolm McFadden- birth as Thompson, 1901 and 1911 as McFadden (mother's maiden name).

Haven't yet found Samuel Thompson/Jane McFadden marriage (as indicated on Malcolm's birth certificate), birth of brother William McFadden (as in 1901 census- checked under McFadden, Thompson & Coyle), etc.

Is this John McFadden?

McFadden John of Cloonty Dervock county Antrim farmer died 14 April 1941 at Castlecatt Bushmills said county Administration Belfast 20 June to Jane Adams married woman. Effects £206 15s.

GRONI shows his age as 81 which fits with 1901 census.

1911 adds more possible children for niece Jane

Thanks Aghadowey for your recent contributions.  I think the only reference to John McFadden that is my known ancestor, father of Mary Ann who married 1874 turned up last night.  27 Feb 1898 at Knockanavery widower died aged 75 in presence of his sister Jane Mabin.  Per irishgeneaology.ie  Image available, but am not too sure how to attach here.   I don't know his wife's forename to seek her out as I only got his off daughter's marriage lines.  Knockanavery seems key even to my late mother's childhood memories.

Had a look at these others, and am of the opinion that the McFaddens who had children by William McCaldrige/Alexander could be related and if so and Jane here was his daughter then these could be more grand-children of his in 1911.  Rowan33 might confirm or refute this.   I think the transcript is wrong here - I see an unmarried brother and sister not a husband and wife as the older household dwellers.

Think I might have found a lot more which will either help sort out these McFaddens or make the whole thing far more complicated (or both) but still checking sources and typing. Will try to post something again later.
