Gaston family

I wonder if someone could please help locate the Gaston family on the 1901 census from the 1911 census of Ireland details listed below.

1911 Census of Ireland

Sarah Kathleen Gaston, daug, single, age 18, linen weaver, born Co Antrim
Godfrey Gaston, son, age 15, apprentice moulder, born Co Antrim

Regards, Roy
anything and everything to do with the village of Brithdir, near New Tredegar in Gwent.

The 1901 census is not yet indexed but will be added to National Archives, Dublin website in the next few months so you'll be able to search for the family then.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Roy,
    Nearest I could find was John Gaston married Annie Paul, father Moses, in Ballymena Baptist Church on 15 Nov 1887. John's father could have been , William, Luke or Robert. The Irish habit of naming the eldest son after the Father's father might indicate Robert.

If the mother was from Dublin the marriage might have taken place there, or even some other county in Ireland.

Aghadowey,
                   Have checked the Family Search Record site and the only Irish Gaston marriages were Antrim, Down and Londonderry. The one I listed was the closest to the census information.

Emerald Ancestors index shows a Robert Gaston married 1887 Co. Antrim to Cecelia Annie Maria ? (only marriage in 1887 for a Robert Gaston).

Aghadowey,
                   1887 marriage was to John Gaston. Using Ancestry Ireland, Robert was one of three possibilities for John's father.

Understand that but do we yet know the Christian name of Mrs. Annie Gaston's husband? To find that important detail it might be nec. to get one of the children's birth certificates which will list both the father's full name and mother's maiden name.

Aghadowey,
                   Very true. However using the surname Gaston, the marriage which I gave was the only Ann/Annie ? which was near 1886. The next two were Annie Grey in 1894 or Ann Forbes in 1872.
