It appears that James Bridget who married elizabeth uprichard in 1899, is my great great grandfather, I am just having problems finding him on the 1901 census or any other information about him,
I know there are some kind folk out there that will help me, can you please let me know where you get all your information so I can look for it myself in the future as well as to no have to come on here all the time.....
Aghadowey thank you so so so so much for all the help that you have given me on previous topics!!!

yeah thats where i got the information from, but in the 1901 census there is no trace of him, how do you get the marriage certificates online, i presume they were married in lurgan as thats where all my family are from!!
-
Here's the family in 1911 census-

No luck in finding them in 1901 yet
-
The civil registration index is online (free) but the actual marriage certificate will not be. See here for details included on marriage certificates, how to order them, etc.-

I haven't found the family in 1901 yet- perhaps the name has been mistranscribed or they're in a missing bit that's not online. Hopefully someone else will have better luck finding them.
-
Not only can I not find the family in 1901 but they are being very elusive in marriage indexes and in birth registrations for their children. Beginning to wonder if they were using a variation of the surname pre-1911?
-
would it be uprichard or something?
-
There is an Eliza Uprichard near enough the correct age in 1901 but unmarried. Her occupation is hemstitch folder-

Perhaps they weren't married 12 years in 1911 as census said but then where is James Bridget in 1901 ???
-
this is what has stumped me!!!! i cannot find him anywhere
-
What about this one
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Down/Waringstown/Corcreany/1244358/
Most of the Bridgetts/Bridget/Uprichards I know of came from the Drumgask area and this townland is only a stones throw away.
Regards Aljepeka

James was married with a one year old son by 1901. The James Bridgett above is unmarried
James was b 1877 Armagh
-
Assuming that the info on the census is correct you are quite right although when I am faced with a brick wall I chase up any leads even though many do prove to be red herrings .
Other Bridget researchers I have met who have been researching the monbrief/drumgask connection said that they found the surnames Bridget(t) and Uprichard/Pritchard to be interchangeable.
-
Very interesting, aljepekam about some families using both Bridget(t) and Uprichard/Pritchard. Wonder if it explains why I've still been unable to find the marriage of James and Elizabeth c1899?
jigguy29- what's your source for Elizabeth's maiden name being Uprichard?
-
Would an obituary help? I think James and most of the family is buried at the cemetery at New Line Road.
James Uprichard died June 13, 1954
Elizabeth died 22nd March, 1955
William died 29th July, 1959
Harry died 4th March, 1976
That leaves Robert's grave unaccounted for. There are a few Roberts about with middle names which might suggest parents for James or Elizabeth.
Someone else filled out the census form as neither James nor Elizabeth could write. This makes the census data a bit suspect.
-
Aghadowey, I was wondering if her maiden name was Uprichard!! its funny that there is no trace of them in the 1901 census! I know that James and Elizabeth went on to have 2 more children a girl called sarah around 1912 and mary or may born on 24/12/1914
-
Kat C?? how did you find that information??????? what site?
-
Your orginal post said "It appears that James Bridget who married elizabeth uprichard in 1899," and now you've said "I was wondering if her maiden name was Uprichard!!"
Does this mean you don't know what her maiden name actually was and that we've been searching for a marriage between a James Bridget and Elizabeth Uprichard for nothing?
Births certificate for any of the children should list mother's maiden name.
-
a distant relative in the family said that her name was uprichard before she was married
-
When the Mormons copied the 1901 census, part of Hill Street was missing. The on-line census also seems to have half of Hill Street missing. The missing surnames were once listed on the old Lurgan Ancestry site as they copied the cover sheet of Hill Street inhabitants.
I don't know if I can find the listing, but it is possible that James Bridget/Uprichard was listed on that cover sheet. Perhaps other streets in Lurgan are missing.
-
Jane Bridget with 7 people (not necessarily her children) in the household and Thomas Uprichard with 2 people in the household are listed on the missing section of Hill Street.
There is a John Bridget listed in IGI as having wife Jane Kearns and son William James born 1871 in Lurgan, but i don't know anything about them. Jane and Isabelle are interchangable names, but the lady does not seem to be Arabella from Antrim to Lurgan.
Hope you received my PM on Uprichard gravestones.
-
Finally have found out from a distant relative that elizabeths maiden name was burns, i have found then in the 1901 census, where she had william but was not married to James at that stage!!!
Thank you for anyone that can help trace her back now to where she was born etc!!!!
