Hi all

I've been trying to find out when my Great Grandfather died but so far have had no luck. I wonder it someone could help?

His name was Thomas Henry Niblock and I know that he was born in Templecorran, Larne, in 1878. He must have left there because he married Victoria Eveline Radcliffe in 1905 in Banbridge, Down. They had only one child, Kathleen Florence Niblock born in 1906. She was my Grandmother and, as far as we know, did not remember her father. So I presume he died not long after her birth. But I've found nothing.

If anyone is able to help I'd love to hear from you.

Many thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,
On the night of the 1911 Irish census there was a Kathleen Florence Niblock (aged 4) at 2 Mountain View Terrace Banbridge.

Here's the list of people at that address on census night:
Samuel Archer Radcliffe       Head of family   (aged 66)    Married  35 years   6 children born alive  5 still living
Sophia Radcliffe                    Wife               (aged 70)
Clara Sophia Radcliffe         Daughter           (aged 30)   single
Kathleen Florence Niblock   Grand daughter   (aged 4)


Samuel Archer Radcliffe married Sophia Douglas in 1874
I have found 5 of their 6 children:
Margaret Florence    B 1875
John Alexander        B 1877
Louisa Jane             B 1878
Victoria Eveline        B 1881
William Leslie           B 1883

I cant find any trace of Thomas Henry Niblock or Victoria Eveline on the 1911 Irish census.  Could they both have been dead?

You probably have all these details already but if you want all the wedding details on S A Radcliffe / Sophia Douglas marriage or the children's birth details let me know.

I also found wedding details of 3 of Victoria Eveline's siblings.

regards
Dave
