Robert McNinch (b: 1880) and Agnes Doogan

[allister1964]

Robert was a distant relative of mine, and as far as I know he was a Journalist and lived at St. Ursula's Terrace, Waterford, just over one hundred years ago. His paternal  grandfather, also named Robert McNinch  (c1809-99) lived in East Antrim. It appears that he and his wife had at least five children:
Charles (b: 1902) ;  James Watt (b: 1905) ;  Kathleen  (b: abt 1903) ;  Jane (b: abt 1907) and Robert (b: 1911).

It would be great to know what happened to these children, and possible chat to some of their living descendants. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated.

There’s a public tree on Anc*y gives death of three children Charles, James & Jane - perhaps they can help

There are two more children born in Waterford
Robert -1911
Sadie - 1913

I can’t see any records here https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ after that.
Perhaps they moved back to the north.

If you search Bob McNinch there are references - maybe it is him.
