Lena Keys
« on: Tuesday 05 June 18 10:46 BST (UK) »
Hi guys,

I am trying to trace Lena Keys B 19 Aug 1911 to parents Thompson Keys-Martha Jane Robertson M 29 Jan 1902 Dungannon. 1911 census show different ages and other children. I have all the other information regarding Thompson's parentage etc.

I have searched for a marriage and death to no avail. Can anyone help with Lena Keys please.

Note!! I am a novice and any help would be most appreciated.

Ray

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

I have searched for a marriage and death to no avail. Can anyone help with Lena Keys please.
Where have you searched? Irish Genealogy only has N.I. records up to 1921 (and births more than 100 years old). GRONI's online database only show births more than 100 years old, marriages more than 75 years old & deaths more than 50 years old.

Robinson Not Robertson
Robinson and Robertson are interchangeable in Ulster so you might find both spellings used for the same person/family.

Someone else was searching for this Keys family a few years ago-

Lena's father seems to have died without leaving a Will and the administration paperwork may only record the number of living children rather than details such as their names, addresses, etc. but the paperwork will be in PRONI's archives-
Keys Thompson of Station Road Clogher county Tyrone old age pensioner died 1 October 1958 Administration Londonderry 12 January to John Keys gentleman. Effects £127 1s.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Search for her siblings marriages, she may appear as a witness under her birth name so still unmarried at that time or her married name which will narrow down the search years.
