 :)Your great grandmother is kneeling front right in the golden wedding photograph (1945) of your great great grandfather and great great grandmother that I posted on this site.  I was hoping someone would fill in the names as I can only recognise 5 of the family apart from Henry O誰eile and Emma. Emma McCartney lived in Belfast and was very close to her sister, my mother, Kathleen (extreme left in photograph) who also lived in Belfast until her death in 1966.  My eldest brother Michael was very good friends with Ross and Kerry.  I can still remember them all.  Your roots go back to 5 King Street, Newry Co. Down, then Co. Armagh.

 :)Reading the obituary for James B O誰eill, Newry Reporter 15th July 1922, I note that he had one brother John Henry O誰eill and 4 married sisters, no names for the sisters given.  His father James ran a shop at 5, King Street Newry in 1881.  In the 1901 census there is a James O誰eill and wife Sarah living at 13, King Street Newry.  In the 1911 census there is a James O誰eill and wife Sarah living at 2, King Street Newry.  These census records give the following information:-


1901 census               1911 census
13 King Street               2 King Street

James aged 47               James aged 57
Sarah aged 53               Sarah aged 65

H?  aged 27               H?  aged 37            
D? aged 23-25            D? aged 33-35

Sarah aged 22               Sarah aged 28
Annie aged 21               Annie?
Martha aged 19            Martha aged 25
James aged 17               James aged 23


The question marks have been added to signify that these persons (H for Henry and D. for an unnamed sister) had probably got married and left home since they are all still alive in 1922 and the 4 daughters are married.  Can anyone fill in the gaps?  How did John Henry come to spell his name O誰eile and not O誰eill as his father had done.  There is also a change from Presbyterian to Church of Ireland.  The children have only aged 6 years over a 10 year period while Sarah his wife has aged 12 years over the same period.  Surprisingly, James senior has aged 10 years over a 10 year period.
