Ledden family questions
« on: Thursday 21 March 19 22:10 GMT (UK) »
I am struggling to find details on these folk and looking for fresh eyes.  Various spelling possibilities Ledden/Leddon/Ledin etc.  Roman Catholics.

James Leddon, buried Magheralough, Trillick in 1933.  Residence Moneygar.
1911 census, Dromore (Tyrone).
Is this the same James born in 1902 to parents Patrick Ledden and Anne McBride?

Charles John Ledden, born 1888 (illegitimate I believe).
1911 census, Trillick
Present at death of mother Margaret, Trillick, in 1937.
I'm aware of some Ledden family members who emigrated to the USA but uncertain about Charles.

I’ve tried geni.nidirect, ancestry, family search.

I feel I must be overlooking something simple but I’m not sure where to go from here to find answers, so hoping you can please point the way.

Thanks

Charles 1911

Birth 1887

Mother Margaret unmarried, grandmother Catherine informant.

Mmm what ya think? 1901 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tyrone/Trillick/Cavanamara/1741149/
The enumerator filled this in which would explain the different spelling of the surname.
Could Wray be Charles' father
Edited that confused myself.

I have the marriage cert for Patrick and Anne in Scotland, 1881.  Interesting that it's registered in Ireland in 1894 on the irishgenealogy site.  The 1906 is Anne's correct death date.  I haven't yet, but will, check where she and Patrick are buried.

I have tried to contact the Magheralough cemetery through the email address, which is no longer operational, but don't know how best to contact them for some clarification as to past documentation procedures.  Interesting that there are many 'unknown' burials (I assume long long ago).  Not today one would suggest.

Could I order a death certificate for this particular James, without details, and be confident of obtaining the details?  I cannot do likewise for Charles as I only have his birth details.

Your thoughts please on how best to proceed.

cheers

Oops.... the Scotland marriage I mentioned was someone else, sorry.  The 1894 marriage for Patrick and Anne is correct.

On Find A Grave it says May 1933 for James which narrows it down a bit, but if you can't find it on NIDirect than you have to wonder if he has a cert.
Hopefully someone with better knowledge of Northern Ireland records will be along soon.

Thanks all for your input.  As you say, perhaps someone will come along but for now, it remains in the too hard basket.
