Kane Lookup please
« on: Friday 01 October 10 11:55 BST (UK) »
Hi I'm trying to find information on an Agnes Kane, married 1st August 1914 St Anne's Sharkill, Belfast to a Thomas Arkley. She died 22nd February 1959.

The information I'm looking for is date of birth, district and parents names if possible.

If anyone could help it would be appreciated. She is my great grandmother and efforts to ask family members have not been forthcoming.

Hi,
    Agnes Kane's father was called James but I cannot identify her on the 1911 census.

Thomas Arkley is in 1911 census here-

It's more difficult to find Agnes since Kane is a common surname, she could listed as Agnes/Nancy etc. and we don't have any idea of her age.
There's an Agnes Kane here, age 27 so same age as Thomas

However, I'm having difficulty finding them in 1901 census to see if father's name might be James Kane. Closest is this family (religion Church of Ireland not Presbyterian as in 1911 Agnes Kane record above) but unfortunately mother is widowed-

mrgreer- what address is given for bride and groom on marriage certificate? and her father's occupation? Also, how old was Agnes when she died in 1959?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

The marriage certificate states Thomas Arkely, coppersmith living at 94 Bryson Street and Agnes Kane living at  17 James Street.

James Kane the bride's father was listed as a Sawyer.

Agnes Kane is listed as 24 in 1914 and therefore doing the maths 21 in 1911 when the census was taken.

There is no profession listed for Agnes

Am I right in assuming that James Street is now James Street South?
