hi

i have found thomas mcclelland,on the 1911 census,
i think i then found his birth on the search engine

so i proceded to try and get the certificate,so i could go back futher with the mcclelland tree
i got half way then it told me to enter the fathers name and the mothers maiden name
how is this possable i haven't got a clue,that is why i want the cert to see who they are

is there any way round this please help

kind regards

You just fill in the details you have - parents details not required if you have the district, year/quarter, volume and page numbers.

thomas mcclelland age 30,lived at number 53 in kings street ,newcastle county down.
along with his wife Susan also 30 and 3 children,Mary ,thomas and Margaret,it

53 is the number on the census form not the street number- see page 2 on census page.

THANK YOU AGHADOWEY


the 1901 northern ireland census is only available on micro film is it,so how would i go about finding where thomas mcclelland was living on that census,would i have to order the whole county down  census?

kind regards

1901 census is not indexed yet but will be added to National Archives (later this year?) after 1911 census is complete. Until then it's availale in a few places like PRONI in Belfast. LDS also have it on microfilm but you need to know which film to order. See online catalogue at www.familysearch.org and search by name of parish.

hello aghadowey

thank you so much for your kind advice

i dont want to waste your time as you must be very busy but i cant seem to do a search by the name of the parish by the site you gave me ,i can only manage it by putting a name in ,cant see where to put the parish in?
sorry if im being a bit stupid

kind regards

Just takes a bit of practice to get the hang of searching the site. Go to this page-
www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp
Then click 'place search' and insert the name of the parish into 'place' box and then click 'search' button.
When the results come up click on the name then click on 1901 census.

Hi Slothbear - I don't know if this is helpful or not.  My father and his family were from Toome, Co. Antrim.  They had neighbors up there called McClelland.  My mother particularly liked one of the women - Virginia McClelland. Also, I think the man's name was Dan McClelland.  Again - maybe someone out there can elaborate.  This is just from my memory.
BTW - that would have been possibly in the late 40's and early 50's.
