ALEXANDER HEANEY

[isobelw]

Alexander Heaney married Elizabeth McQuilkin in 1877 in Ballymoney. Looks like the family may have returned to Ireland after Mary died as there is no sign of them in 1881 in Scotland.

Given the name of the informant, I wonder if this might be Lizzie's death?

From a free search on an online database it seems as though Elizabeth McQuilkin's father was William and Alexander Heaney's father was Hugh.

Seems as though Alexander and Lizzie were back in Ireland (near her family) at least by 1911- married '30' years, no children and Lizzie (Elizabeth) is listed first which makes me wonder if they were living in same household or just happened to be there census night-

Yes its the correct person

Both married name and maiden name are spelt incorrectly hence why I couldnt find them so thank you very much for doing that.

Ev gave you this info. on reply #1.

I take no credit as I was only highlighting her original find & expanding on it to explain the indexing format on SP.

I believe the name Eoin (not sure of 'correct' spelling) can be termed as Hugh/Ewen & even morphs into John although I have never worked out how/why

You have all been amazing. I know for a fact I would never ever have found this information without you. I'm only good in straightforward situations and this is complicated.

Thank you all so much

We haven't finished yet 

Checked Valuation Revision Books1894-1912 and 1913-1929 for Mullans townland without finding any Heaney household  Possibly they were only in that house for a short time in 1911. As I thought, Mullans townland marches Tullaghans-

What did surprise me was the size of the house- 7 rooms with 8 windows in front!
