Hi,
i am looking for information on my Great Grandparents, Michael O'Kane and Lizzy O'Kane (formally Donnachie) Michael was born in county Derry in 1867 and Lizzie in Belfast 1873. The 1901 census showed they lived in Ballyclose Street, Limavady with their five sons- James, John, Michael M, Hugh and Joseph.
1911 census shows "event place Limavady, Drumachose, county Londonderry, Irishgreen Street" with four more children, the new children being Kathleen (1903), Fredrick (1905), Patrick (1908) and Bernard Eugene (1910).
James, as mentioned above, was my grandfather who moved to Scotland some time between 1911 and 1918 as records show he married my grandmother in Scotland in 1918. I cannot find any birth, marriage or death records for Michael or Lizzie. I have no exact date of birth for James, but records show he was born in 1890.
They whole family were Roman Catholics.
If anyone can help with any information on the above, i would be very grateful if you could reply.
Many Thanks,
Jim
