Title: 1891 Census Return-I need help
Post by: TonyMc6 on Monday 21 November 05 17:37 GMT (UK)

I have the following information:

District:Paisley/573/1   Year:1891 Enumeration:47 p26 Schedule:119

86 New Sneddon

       Name            Rel        cond    age   Occupation            where born
Thomas Morrow  Head   Married  43  General Labourer     Ireland   
Ellen Morrow *    wife    Married   40                                  Ireland
Elizabeth             Dau                  12     Scholar                  England
James                 Son                    6                                    Paisley,Scot
John                    Son                   3                                    Paisley,Scot
Ellen                    Dau                month                              Paisley,Scot

*nee Marshall

I am trying to trace the Morrow and Marshall line. I can't find Ellen and Thomas' place of birth within Ireland, their death details or anything. It's like they disappeared.......can anyone help?

The only thing I may have that may be a starting point is that i believe they were catholic as their son John got married in St.Mirren RC Church in 1911 to Mary Allison.

If anyone can help I would be eternally gratefu.l

Ireland
The census has been taken every year in Ireland since 1821.
To view the Irish census for 1901 you should visit the GRO in Dublin at:

General Register Office, Joyce House,
8-11 Lombard Street East, Dublin 2.

Tel:+353 1 635 40 00
To view the 1911 census (which has been made available earlier than the 100 year rule dictates), you should visit the GRO in Belfast at:

Oxford House
49/55 Chichester Street
Belfast
BT1 4HL
Tel: 028 90 252000

Other Irish census records are not readily available. The 1861 and 1891 census returns were destroyed by the government, and many of the others were destroyed by fire in 1922.

There are other "census substitutes" for Ireland that you may want to look at however:

Griffiths Valuation
Cancelled Land Books

I have a birth for a child born in 1884 which states the date and place of marriage for the parents.  Perhaps details would be listed on the birth certificate of one of the children?
