Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Has anyone heard of a place called Newton Limavady, Londonderry
« on: Tuesday 26 September 06 18:51 BST (UK)  »
Limavady is only a few miles from Derry and Newton Limavady is an area part of the townlands - often under "aghnaloo".  Hope this helps

I have come across this Robert hughes married to a Mary Young in strabane I believe and a daughter Margaret but at the time of the 1901 census there is no mention of a Margaret (who could have left home of course by then) all the other children where 1878 onwards in quick succession and have never been able to find a link so think they may be separate families

Rob, thank you for this information.  You are probably right in that they moved church. At the time of the 1901 census the family were at spencer road.  I did trace the church records re the births of the children which were all for the Strand.  They had moved to Olive Terrace before 1908. I just cannot trace marriage or birth cert for either Robert or Mary (Young) but will keep going. I know that Mary died in the Waterside area in 1925 and that her daughter Sarah signed the death cert - but no other details.  I did visit the Glendermott graveyards when I visited Derry last year
and have also got strands that may link to Strabane.  Need more visits to Ireland!
Genealogy is both frustrating and fascinating!
Good luck with your searches

Thanks for all your advice Christopher.  I know what you mean re different towns - there is another Robert Hughes and Mary Young in Strabane for instance.  But I know my Mary died in Olive Street, Waterside, Derry in 1925 but cannot trace her grave.

Re Hughes family at Spencer Road, Derry at 1901. Family were presbyterian and worshipped at the Strand (2nd Derry) but were not buried in the graveyards normally associated with this church.

My great gradparents Robert Hughes and his wife May (Young) lived at spencer road - derry at the time of the 1901 census.  My grandfather Thomas (who moved to Edn and married Helen Millan was the second child.  I would appreciate any information on my great grandparents or any of the children.  Mary died in waterside area in 1925 - but I visited Derry in Dec 04 but could not find the family grave.

My great grandparents Robert and Mary Hughes worshipped at the Strand (2nd) Presp. Church in 1901 - can't find burials for either at church or at city cemetery.  Anyone got information?
They lived at Spencer Road at time of 1901 census
