Hi All,
Could I please ask for some help
I have found out my great granny Sarah McDowell was 1 of at least 10 ( that I have found )
Matilda Douglas and George McDowell parents George was a shoe maker ballymena here’s the wedding

I am looking into her brothers and sisters in particular Nancy McDowell
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1884/02694/1992026.pdf
I have found her birth but can not find her census, marriage or death ?
Also Mary Jane McDowell was the 1st child born

But my question is they went on and had another Mary McDowell 1892
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1892/02328/1871504.pdf
So would the 1st Mary have passed away.
Thanks for reading

Normally that would be the case, with a second child named after the first who died, but I don't see any death record for the first Mary in Ballymena S.R.D.

Strange I have found the second Mary on the 1911 census with her sister Ellen mcdowell now wilson

Here's the link for others to see-
Residents of a house 11 in Part of Sixth Street (Wood Vale Ward, Antrim).

Problem is that both Ellen and Mary say that they were born in Belfast.
