Hello
I'm trying to trace the parents and area of Ireland for James McAuley born 1869. Parents names are James McAuley and Ellen McQuillan.
James McAuley was born 1869 in Ireland, married 1901 to Elizabeth Dickerson in Glasgow and died in Glasgow in 1928. He worked as a Dock Labourer and probably came to Scotland as a young man.
Any information gratefully received as we can find nothing in the Scotland records or on Ancestry.

I am looking for any information about the following family.
James McAuley and Ellen McQuillan who lived in Antrim and had at least 3 children. James born 1879, William born 1871 and Bernard born 1878.
Particularly interested in any census returns or gravestones that can show where this family lived.
We already have births for the 3 sons from familysearch.
Thanks.

Hi
could this be William aged 30 on 1901 census?

Birth certificates for any of the children will list an exact place (townland) of birth- Cushendall from William's information on LDS site is likely the registration district. The certificate will also list father's occupation.
The only 2 available census years will be 1901 and 1911- both are online (free). McAuley (with lots of spelling variations) is a very common surname in North Antrim.

Do you know what religion the family were? This will help locate them in census records and determine where to find church records and gravestone (if any)/burial information.

Not sure about that Jim - the ages are thereabouts but don't fit exactly and the mother is down as Nancy not Ellen.
But will keep them in mind just in case.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Plus - James would have to have been a quick worker since he got married in Glasgow in 1901!

Hi I am also researching the family line of James McAuley and Ellen McQuillen.
So far I have found the following children:-
Michael McAuley born 12 Jan 1873 Cushendall, Co Antrim. (My ancestor)
1st Married:- Mary Carlin on 13 April 1891.
2nd Married:- Jane McAulay on 14 November 1902
Died 27 June 1936 NSW Australia.
His brother (your interest) is a side line research on mine, I was hoping to gain more information on their parents, then the research developed a life of its own...
James McAuley married Elizabeth Dickenson. They had seven children:-
John McAuley b.June/July 1891, d.6 Oct 1946
married: 1. Hannah McGarvey
married: 2. Joan Jack.
Thomas McAuley b.22 Dec 1892, d.5 Jan 1938
unmarried.
James McAuley, b.27 Mar 1895, d.18 Aug 1958.
married: Jessie Jane Laurrie (?)
Alexander McAuley, b.6 Sept 1896. d.3 Feb1959
married: Margaret Paterson
William McAuley b. 4 Feb 1899, d.20 Dec 1959
married: Mary Ann Johnston (who died prior to 1959)
Elizabeth McAuley b.19 Apr 1900, d.?April 1904
unmarried.
George McAuley b.28 Nov 1903, d.14 June 1971
married Mary Phillips.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, the next generation was subsequently produced:-
John McAuley b. June/July 1891 had the following children:-
James McAuley b.13 April 1916, d.4 June 1933
John McAuley b.10 Feb 1920
Edward McAuley b.22 Feb 1932
Margaret McAuley b. 11 Mar 1918
Agnes McAuley b.26 Nov 1925 (and her twin)
Helen McAuley b.26 Nov 1925.
James McAuley b.27 Mar 1895 had the following children:-
John McAuley 7 Nov 1918 (who later marries Agnes Percy Little).
Agnes McCallum McAuley 25 Aug 1922.
Alexander McAuley b.6 Sep 1896 had the following children:-
Alexander McAuley b.23 May 1922.
John McAuley b.14 May 1924.
Georgina McAuley b.13 Feb 1920.
William McAuley b.4 Feb 1899 had the following children:-
William McAuley b.8 Nov 1918.
Joseph McAuley b.16 March 1921.
George McAuley b.28 Nov 1903, had the following children:-
Hannah McAuley b.19 Jan 1931
George McAuley b.10 Sept 1932.
Thomas McAuley b.15 Sept 1941.
Mary McAuley b.13 Oct 1934.
Margaret McAuley b.19 July 1939.
------------------------------------------------
Now, that aside, I can tell you that on the 1891 wedding certificate of the James McAuley you are researching, his address is given as 109 Dale Street, Tradeston, Glasgow. My ancestor Michael McAuley had the same address on the 1981 census, so it would appear that they were sharing this address at that time.
I did a further bit of digging and I found additional children of James McAuley and Ellen McQuillen.
From 'Rootsireland.ie' I obtained the following Baptismal records:
