Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Death look-up Patrick James Belfast 1901 -1911
« on: Thursday 09 December 10 22:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I have a Patrick James in the family born in Armagh 1841 and living in Henry Place Belfast (Shankill) in 1901 (aged 60). There is no record of him on the 1911 census, so I am assuming he had died before 1911.

I can't find a death record for him and would appreciate if anyone could help me with this. His wife Margaret was also on the 1901 census but is missing from 1911.

Thanks in advance.
Meeps.

Other Countries / Re: Patrick James - serving in India circa 1860 -1870

Thanks for your post, but based on Henrietta's DOB of1869, this wouldn't be her.  I will keep looking...and hopefully will turn something up!

On the plus side I have now found the marriage details for her mother and father (Nova Scotia) and a reference to a brother who I believe died in infancy. I think Henrietta's mother may have been a nurse in the British army, being stationed in Halifax when she married Patrick in 1864. Anyone have any ideas where I might follow-up on this?

No I Believe that it was West Indies, but for some reason Henrietta has entered India on the 1901 and 1911 census forms. Could have been an error on her own part.

Looking at his service records he did serve in East India also, but based on her age (2) in 1871 and his details, they are based in Barbados in 1869. It's strange because all along the family had talked about connections to India. Still, I am very happy to have obtained the information found by everyone as it provides lots of background, so thanks again.

Ok, I have the military records for Patrick and it confirms Henrietta was born in West Indies in 1869. She herself had entered birth place as India on the 1901 census, so explains why I couldn't find anything.  Looking at where her father was stationed in 1869 it would suggest she was born in Barbados. How would I go about trying to locate her birth record, as nothing obvious is showing up on Findmypast etc.

Also on Patrick's record, there are remarks about him being named on regimental defaulters lists... can't make out the details. Are these records available elsewhere?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
I am not having much success locating records for Patrick James who served in India in 1860 -1870. He was married to a Margaret James and they had a daughter called Henrietta James who was born in India. I can't find a birth record for Henrietta either.  Patrick was born in Armagh, Northern Ireland around 1841. Any help or assistance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am looking for records for a Patrick James born in Armagh around 1841. He is located on the Belfast census in 1901 aged 60 with a wife Margaret (born London). He was a carpenter by trade. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
