Margaret Lennox married Luke Lennox in 1833 in Castledawson Presbyterian. Margaret died Dec 27, 1874 whereas Luke died Dec 29, 1891. Either obit would help with the family tree. Margaret's death record was hard to find as it was indexed under Luke Margaret Lennox.
When Margaret died, her husband was present. When Luke died, his son Andrew was present.
Looking for names of children who were alive at the time of their deaths.
Thanks for any help.

No obvious death notices.

Andrew and 2 sisters at 1901: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Magherafelt/Tamnadeese/1532982/

Andrew's widow and their 4 young children at 1911:

Andrew's two sisters from the 1901 census, nearby at 1911:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Londonderry/Magherafelt/Tamnadeese/613729/

The son Andrew in the 1911 census, was still farming in Tamnadeese in the 1950s, as newspapers reported his involvement in an accident in which he sustained facial injuries and a broken leg.

Some children of Luke mentioned on https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LRRX-G5K, albeit how accurate would need checked. Also, the tree says Andrew snr was "Killed by a kick from either a donkey or mule" when his death certificate and newspaper of time says pneumonia.

Andrew's brother Thomas at 1901 and 1911

cross referenced with Thomas' son, Luke, attending his uncle Andrew's funeral in 1906.

This is fantastic, scotmum. There is a lot of information there. And largely correct except that I don't think Mary Jane Lennox who died 1897 belonged to this family. And she died in Londonderry, not Tamnadace. That would mean that there would be two Marys in the family, both of whom survived. I know that often when one child dies, another can be given the same name.
Would it be possible to see Andrew's obit in 1906, mentioning family members? That would be great.
thank you so very much.
I did find Mary Ann's death in 1901 with sister Margaret Jane present.
Thanks again

What it be possible to get a copy of the newspaper report of Andrew Lennox’s incident in the 1950s when he was kicked by a mule and suffered facial injuries and a broken leg? I am wondering how close that incident was to his death and if there is a possible link to his death?
Thank you
