hi
trying to find some details of james taylor married to annie stevenson.have the family on the 1901 census living with stevenson in castleroe.james was not their on the night.cannot find any details of his family parents,siblings etc
-
Is this the family on the census returns ?
1901 Taylor/Stevenson family, Castleroe (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Somerset/Castleroe/1516819/)
1911 Taylor family, Castleroe (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Londonderry/Somerset/Castleroe/587829/)
The 1911 census showed that James & Annie are married about 12 years - so c1899. You can search the BMD Index for thier marriage. A cert would show details of fathers etc, which would help find James's father.
see : Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html)

There's a possible match for the marriage on the BMD Index
Name: Annie M Stevenson
Registration District: Ballymoney
Event Type: Marriage
Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1900
volume Number: 1 / page : 153
Name: James Taylor
[same index details]
The townland of Castleroe seems to be in the registration district of Coleraine, but the town, and district, of Ballymoney are only short distance to the south-east.

Possibly this James Taylor in 1901 census (Curragh is just down the road a bit from Castleroe)-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Somerset/Curragh/1516859
Marriage certificate for James and Annie should list fathers' names and occupation unless illegitimate.

Shane,
I have that Ballymoney marriage, Annie Stevenson to JOHN MILLER. the BMD index bears this out.
Regards

Betty,
I cannot find a marriage for Annie Stevenson and JamesTaylor. I notice that Annie is a granddaughter of Jane Stevenson and wonder if you can confirm that Annie's maiden name was Stevenson.

So a false cross match for the marriage. That was the best poss. match for Annie...
something strange going on in the BMD Index - two separate marriages listed with the same name, year/qtr, page and volume - but different registration districts :
Name: James Taylor
Registration District: Londonderry
Event Type: Marriage
Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1900
volume : 2 / page : 139
Name: James Taylor
Registration District: Ballymoney
[other details are the same]
Digital Folder Number is 4195895 for both, although image is different.

Thanks Shane. It baffles me as well.

There's a marriage for a James Taylor Apr./June 1898 Coleraine district volume 1 page 609 with a match for Annie Henry.
In 1911 census an aunt Mary Stevens is in the Taylor household and Stevensons/Stevens are interchangable.
Betty- do you have any of the children's birth certificates or other source for Annie's maiden name being Stevenson?
-
Aghadowey,
I found that marriage as well, in Agherton Church of Ireland, but I had hoped to find a Henry/Stevenson marriage but was unsuccessful.
Regards
-
I suspect that Annie's maiden name is not Stevenson - and since she is granddaughter to Jane Stephenson on the 1901 census, that could make it her mother's maiden name ?

thank you to all the replies. the only thing i have is that my dad said james taylor was married to annie stevens or stevenson,he thought she maybe came from scotland. i am just assuming it was stevenson due to the info on the 1901 census. also 1 of their sons was robert stevenson
