Thanks, that's a thought, I did wonder if his birth records were destroyed by the 1922 fire? as I believe happened to so many. My next step, I think, will be to try Churches local to Rathmore/Antrim for any baptism records, it's just knowing where to start.

Thanks, but Thomas' father was called Alexander. Have tried birth records to no avail.

Rathmore is a Townland in the Parish of Donegore to the East of Antrim itself, just fields and hedges and a few modern homes. I'm told that there are several 'Frenches' living in the area, maybe they are distant relatives, another line of enquiry for me to pursue.
Thankyou for your interest.

Antrim / French family research
« on: Sunday 19 July 09 17:16 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information on the French family.
Only information I have, courtesy of 1911 UK census is that my Grandfather named Thomas French was born approx 1880 in Rathmore, County Antrim.
He had two brothers, names not known. I believe all three brothers left home around the same time, two went to England and one to USA. Their father's name was Alexander, mother's name not known.
Thomas married my Grandmother in 1911 in Derbyshire, he was then aged approx 31yrs.
