Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Is Ancestry removing census reference information from the index?
« on: Thursday 12 December 13 22:17 GMT (UK)  »
I believe we are all referring to the information NOT being shown on the overview/summary page - before you actually open the census image.

The information is still shown on the 1911, but not on the 1901.

There was a short discussion on this same topic on an ancestry message board a few days ago.
http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.ancestry.ancsite/13246/mb.ashx

I don't do much searching in the English census, since most of my family came from Ireland, so I'm not an expert, by any stretch.

There have been numerous glitches in the census reference information on ancestry.com in the recent past. The 1870-1900 US census lost all citation information for many months.

The NLI.ie website has a wonderful collection of old photos - mostly glass-plate negatives - many from Tyrone and specifically Omagh.

United States of America / Re: deported 1915 New York to Liverpool

Interesting - I have a deportee I am researching, about the same time and place.

John McGarrity was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, 1866, moved to Manchester, married Ellen McQueen in 1889 (born Lancashire to a Scottish father/Lancs mother), had 1 daughter in 1896. I have them in Lancashire in the 1891 and 1901 UK Census. John was a shop porter in 1891 and a musician in 1901. The family left England shortly after 1901 - I have mother and daughter arriving New York 13 Oct 1904. I have not found a US arrival record for John, but the family of 3 are in Pawtucket, Providence County, Rhode Island, in the 1910 US Census, and John was working as a fireman in the boiler room of the cotton mill.

April 6, 1915, John arrives Glasgow, deported, on board the Tuscania. A few days later, he is back in Lancashire and enlists in the Army. According to his pension record, John served only 43 days, before being discharged as medically unfit. His death was registered in Salford, Lancashire in the 3rd quarter of 1916.

John is possibly a first cousin of Joe McGarrity, the Tyrone-Philadelphia Clan na Gael man. If he was active in support of the Irish cause, deportation might have resulted from those actions.

Mick,

I know your post has some age on it, so you may already have this information. Elizabeth's mother was Bridget Devlin, from County Tyrone. Elizabeth's sister, Sarah, married Michael McGarrity, the younger brother of my great grandmother.

Happy to help if I can.

My Michael was NOT married to Catherine. Michael was married to Sarah Hughes.

Catherine is their daughter, my great-grandmother.

I am trying to find the marriage of Michael and SARAH.

Thanks and sorry I was apparently not clear.

I have the civil birth registrations for 8 children - not just the transcription but the full pages from the Civil Register.

Catherine was in the US by 1884, married and widowed by 1890, remarried 1892 and lived until 1951. Margaret arrived much later - after the deaths of their parents.

The birth records mention Six Mile Cross for the 2 oldest known children and Inishative for the rest.

I'm familiar with the records on familysearch - those transcriptions helped me find the right microfilms to get the full register page. I am now trying to go farther and find the marriage record for Michael McGarrity/McGeraghty and Sarah Hughes, which would have been 1863 or earlier.

I don't believe that family in the 1901  census is the correct group. Daughter Mary would have been much older, son James would have been younger, and Catherine would have to be a 2nd wife.

I believe this to be the remains of my family in Ireland in 1901 - father Michael and daughter Margaret:

And in 1911 - http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003384882/
By 1912, Margaret was in the US.

Thanks,
Ann

Tyrone / McGarrity/McGeraghty
« on: Monday 29 October 12 00:21 GMT (UK)  »
My great-grandmother Catherine McGarrity (sometimes McGeraghty) was born 1868 in County Tyrone, and her birth was registered at Omagh No. 2. Parents Michael McGarrity and Sarah Hughes.

Other known children of Michael and Sarah:
1864 Mary
1866 John
1870 Sarah Anne
1871 Patrick
1874 Michael
1875 Margaret
1879 James

Family was Roman Catholic. I would like to find the Parish where they would have attended Mass and - I hope! - where Michael and Sarah "Sally" were married. I have copies of the civil birth registrations for all 8 children, from microfilm. Since Mary was born in 1864, when registration began, there may be older children I have not found.

I'd appreciate any pointers as to the possible Church.

Catherine and Margaret both came to the US - first to NY and then to NJ, where they both died and are buried. I believe most of the brothers also came to the US, possibly Philadelphia, but I don't have that last bit of proof I want to be sure.

Thanks in advance.

Ann
