Lookup Request 1901 Census Northbrook St Windsor Ward Belfast Smylie

[hewittmandy]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone could do a lookup for the Smylie family living at either 86 or 90 Northbrook Street, Belfast in 1901? The father was called David Smylie and the mother would have been Anne Jane or Jenny. Also if there are any other Smylie or McDade's nearby that would also be great. I'm looking to see if all the children's names and dates of birth tie up.

Thanks,

Mandy

Mandy,
          The 1901 census should be on line shortly. I have found a marriage of David Smylie to Anne Jane McDade and the births of 9 children but the address is just Belfast. If this information might be useful please let me know and I will pass it on.

Regards

Hi,

Yes that is the correct family - I'm trying to get some more information on the year of birth and location of birth for David Smylie and Anne Jane McDade (the parents).
The children I have are:
William D SMYLIE 1882 – 1922
Elizabeth Martin SMYLIE 1884 – 1950
David SMYLIE 1886 – 1895
Joseph Ferguson SMYLIE 1887 – 1969
Margaret SMYLIE 1889 – 1919
Robert SMYLIE 1891 – 1916
Anne Martin SMYLIE 1893 – 1918
David SMYLIE 1895 – 1951
Jane SMYLIE 1898 –

Later 3 more children were born:
Flora Kathleen SMYLIE (1900-)
Edward Martin SMYLIE (1901-)
Thomas Sawyer SMYLIE (1903-1967)

In 1911 I find an Annie Smylie listed as born in Liverpool in 1860 and as sister of William D Smylie - which is very odd.

Do you know when the 1901 Belfast comes online? The census ireland web site says mid 2010.

To narrow down the date (to the quarter of registration) and place (to the registration district) you can search index to civil registrations-

There are a few fragments of 1901 census for Belfast online- see under Census records in ANTRIM RESOURCES board.

In the meantime, no one knows exactly when 1901 census will be added to National Archoves website so it's just a matter of waiting until they do get it online.
