The link you posted is to a transcribed Census.
The link I posted to to a transcribed Census and the original for the Tinney family
It's easier to see.
Do you know when and where James and Mary got married?
-
That couple had a son called James born 1880

Their marriage

Sorry I don't know we're they were married I think they had 3 children
-
Without their marriage you can't be sure if Samuel and Jane are his parents.
I'm not finding the marriage.
Where did you get the Mary McCaffery name?
-
I got it from a family member how legit it is I don't know. There Daughter Kathleen Tinney married Laurence Patrick Brennan on 12th Apr 1935

You will need to get Kathleen's birth cert first, do you have an idea when she was born?
-
She was born on 23rd Jan 1913 in Donegal Ireland

This looks like her birth

Strabane is a Registration District of Donegal.
You can order a research Cert here
https://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx
Don't worry about parts of the form you can't fill in, just be sure to give the Name, Quarter, District, Vol and Page Number.
Get a Research Cert
And include your Email to receive it that way.
It costs €4.
Once you have her mothers name, you can find the parents marriage and so on.
It's best to work back step by step, that way you don't spend an age following the wrong family.
-
She was born in Porthall Donegal, Ireland
Many thanks for your help

Porthall townland (Clonleigh civil parish) comes under Strabane Poor Law Union/Registration District but you still need to get Kathleen's birth certificate.
