Possible new family member
« on: Friday 11 August 23 01:56 BST (UK) »
Hi, I've been researching Matilda Donnell (7 July 1892) and John McIntyre who married on 26 Oct 1920 in Glendermott (C of I) Parish. On their Marriage Certificate, they were living at 70 Glendermott Road, Londonderry. Matilda was the daughter of John Donnell & Elizabeth Sherrard of Slaughtmanus, (Tamnaherin), Londonderry and Grand Daughter of Robert Sherrard & Jane Buchanan. After their marriage all contact with them was lost and I hope someone can perhaps fill in a few details where they might have lived, Had they a family, when they might have died and where they might be buried?. Any help appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat.

I do not see any registrations for births of children, marriages or deaths in Ireland.
They do not appear on the 1921 census in England, Wales or Scotland but they may still have been in Ireland at that time.

Emigration seems the most likely but no record on Ancestry for Matilda 1925 +/- 5 years.

Sorry I cannot help, I hope someone can.

Hi, you probably know this and the previous post also referes to marriage. Jon married one of these people on FindMyPast, John McIntyre married one of these people - Agnes Simpson, Lizzie Gibson, Mary Henderson, Matilda Donnell, 1920 Londonderry. I think I see him aged 12 as son/scholar, son of Mary Ann, widower, 1901 census, Londonderry. I will look some more.
ADDED - there is a separate John McIntyre died 1916 as a soldier, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers

There is a family being deported from Canada  in 1931

John McIntyre 31
Matilda 39
John 6
I am not sure how to interpret the record but I think it implies they arrived in Canada in 1926
Then 2 children born in Canada
Robert Edwin 4
Cameron 4 months

Address in Ireland  23 Fountain street, Londonderry

There is a newspaper snippet
5th January 1939 Londonderry Sentinel

“ a girl named Hester Mclntyre, 23, Fountain Street, slipped and fell at her own door while collecting…”

70 Glendermott Road seems, from pre 1920 newspaper mentions, to have been the Donnell family home. Again, from newspaper mentions, there were McIntyres at 23 Fountain Street in at least the 1930s, mentioning a WW1 death of a John McIntyre.

A tree has death for Matilda of 28 NOV 1978 • Eglinton, Londonderry, Northern Ireland
And John 14 JUNE 1966 • Eglinton, Londonderry, Northern Ireland
And Robert Edwin 21 NOV 1998 • ulster, hosptial, Dundonald, Down, Northern Ireland

But there isn’t any evidence to go with that.

The tree doesn’t have those other children
