Thanks for all that. You are a marvel at what you find. I had the details on birth and marriage of Emily Nelson. First marriage to John Taylor. Then widowed. Remarried a William Bassett in Dublin. So I take it she must have moved to Dublin after John Taylor died. She died in Dublin in (not sure) 1908. That I have to check. Thanks anyway. As I said you areva marvel at your information. Dalek.
Please go back and re-read what has already been posted. Emily Nelson gave a Dublin address when she married John Taylor (see marriage registration) and died in 1904 (see death registration).
The biggest link, at the moment, between Emily and Belfast is the fact that she is listed as born County Antrim in 1901 census (link to this also posted above).
Where I’m having difficulty is my Janes was a convict. Not a bad man. Just took a shot at his superior officer in the army and was sentenced to 10 years transportation to Western Australia in 1861. Now being a convict all his records of birth etc were expunged so there is no way of finding out his family roots.
Records of his birth were not destroyed because he was a convict. Civil registration of births didn't start until 1864. Not all church records from this period survive and of those that do not all are online.
