Hi
Could any one help me. my aunt left Belfast to live in New Zealand in the 1920s.
Se married a man called Robert Spence they had a daughter called Catherine who
married David Treadwell and had a daughter *.
How would I find out when she left the UK and who she went out to.
anybody help
T Campbell


So would tie with my earlier comment that Thomas Campbell of 9 Cumberland Street, appeared to have had a daughter named Mrs Spence.

Do you have anything at all, though, that beyond doubt ties Thomas of Cumberland Street to being Thomas of Old Lodge Road, other than the forenames of the family groups in both 1901 and 1911 census (as religion and Thomas' occupation differ)? Unless you are suggesting, now, that Joseph/Ernest is the link.

It really is difficult to assist when you have so much more info available than you perhaps made clear earlier in the thread.

The John buried in 1966 along with Thomas and Margaret is therefore the son jack/john that hardsocks personally knew.

The connection to Upper Meadow Street, is however not proven as this Thomas (Flaxdresser) lived there in 1901 - there may be a family connection, but not an immediate one
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Dock_Ward/Upper_Meadow_Street/937851/

At which stage your Thomas was living on old lodge road.

I think the names (and number) of the children given in the 1911 census and the lack of another Thomas/Margaret/Thomas/Jack and James on the census on 1901 is enough to confirm (beyond reasonable doubt) that these are the same family especially as the younger son is born in Belfast, so they should be on the 1901 census?

The change of religion among protestant denominations seems reasonably common from my research - perhaps the wife was Church of Ireland and the husband Methodist, so they swapped between them, this alone doesn't suggest the families are not the same

A confirmation the Ernest in 1911 is the Joseph born in 1902 in old lodge road would be great, but in the absence of it I think we can assume they are the one and the same

Which leads us to who is Thomas's parents? -

We know his father was a labourer - from the census we can assume Thomas was born in the Co Down part of Belfast.
Are parish records online anywhere for this area?

However, as Thomas, aged 24 and a Labourer, lived at 21 Danube Street, Belfast when he married in 1883, and stated his father, Joseph was a Labourer, there is still no certain link to any Joseph Campbell, teacher/schoolmaster.

In July 1883, a Mary Jane Campbell, aged 17,  whose brother, Thomas, was present, died at 31 Danube Street. Her father, according to Death Notice in newspaper, was a Joseph.

The Thomas Campbell in upper meadow street in 1901 was a labourer not a flaxdresser.
