Any information about the Mcdermott Family would be very greatly appreciated. The oldest information I have relating to them is from the 1881 Census.
Parents are John and Ann both born in Ireland, John's occupation is General Labourer. Their children are John, Jas, Patrick, Bernard and Mary. John and Jas are coal miners and Patrick is an Iron roller. The address is 1 Ct 3H Hawley Croft Sheffield.
Best Wishes

Hi Rhial
Can you provide some more details from the 1881 census - ages etc - so we can find them more easily in earlier ones?
Thanks and best wishes

Hi Ticker
Thanks for the reply I had forgotten all about my McDermott's. Looking at the post that I wrote requesting information seems very abstract, this one will probably be worse my short term memory is deteriorating badly along with everything else. Right here goes the McDermott's on the 1881 census:
Jno Wm MCDERMOTT head age 50 born Ireland Gen Labourer
Ann MCDERMOTT wife age 40 born Ireland
Jno MCDERMOTT son age 20 born Sheffield Coal Miner
Jas MCDERMOTT son age 18 born Sheffield Coal Miner
Patrick MCDERMOTT son age 14 born Sheffield Iron Roller
Bernard MCDERMOTT son age 12 born Sheffield Scholar
Mary MCDERMOTT daughter age 10 born Sheffield Scholar
DWELLING 1 Ct 3H Hawley Croft Sheffield
RG11/ 4641 / 48 page 19
Best Wishes and many thanks for your reply

The 1871 address is 'New Yard' listed between 23 & 24 Hawley Croft. New Yard has 5 households. This enumerator uses 'Yard' instead of the more usual 'Court'.
Mary Ann is 1 1/2 (ie 18mo) in the original.
