Have you tried to look for him in the 1911 census? Assuming he was born before the census was taken.
Do you know of any Pattersons in your father's family? I have a Rainey Patterson b abt 1859 in my tree and I am looking for his ancestors. Rainey being an unsual christain name I thought there might be a Rainey family connection. Also found a record of another Rainey Patterson living in Ballylisbredan, Dundonald in 1863.

Where do you look for the census?

Hi,
1901 and 1911 census available here http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

Do you think this is your family? This is the only James Rainey of the right age living close to Short Strand.

my Father's Father died early possible jan 1938.I've asked my Dad to get some more names from My Aunties.I've found the Lundy Family,My Late Grandmothers in laws and I Think I've found My Late Grandmothers Mother's Family the Greer on both 1901/11 census.If a baby was born Nov 1910 should this be listed?I've also found The Sloan Family Cousins of My Dad.My Dad's Grandad James Rainey had served in the Army in India.He died in 1958 I've been told by my Dad today.My Grandad who died 1937 was called John,but My Dad said there was an Uncle called Joseph(unless this was a 2nd name used as a 1st like Families did back then).I've found on the 1901 census a Joseph Rainey aged 6 who lived on vulcan st.My Dad mentioned this street earlier of Rainey's living there.I'm trying to find out my Father's Grandmothers name on the Rainey side...No one can remember.

Mary's maiden name is Connelly

Thanks for the info.I'm going to show My Dad.Vulcan St is also mentioned by My Aunties.My Dad did still have contact with his Grandad up to a certain age.His Granddad died in a Hostel.It seems that there was a disagreement when My Father's Father died between the Families hence not much knowledge of the Rainey side.I presume the Urban 11 is St Matthew's?It's looking interesting.

Hi Lib58 - I saw you post on another genealogy site and replied but not sure you saw it so trying here.
I'm Paddy Lundy's (deceased)'s grandson - from Lowry St. Married to Susan McCartan, also deceased.
I have pictures of I think Raineys at my granny's wedding in the 1930s, according to my mum.
You probably know as much or more than me at this stage about the Lundy genealogy, but I am slowly unpicking it and back to County Down in the 1870s, so let me know if you want me to share any hints.
All the best!

Hi Lib,
I'm not sure I can yet - I might need to up my post count before I can. I have a few queries about other branches of the family so I'll post here and there.
In between time, you might wish to try me.
I've tried to attach the picture of my grandmother Susan's wedding party. Mags, her sister, is in the middle. I think my mum said there are also Halfpennys, and Rose Dignam (behind Mags), and supposedly a Rainey or two on the right hand side? I'd need to ask her again.
Do try my PM - great to make contact.
All the best,
Karl
