James Bridget lurgan 1911 census

[jigguy29]

It appears that James Bridget who married elizabeth uprichard in 1899, is my great great grandfather, I am just having problems finding him on the 1901 census or any other information about him,

I know there are some kind folk out there that will help me, can you please let me know where you get all your information so I can look for it myself in the future as well as to no have to come on here all the time.....

Aghadowey thank you so so so so much for all the help that you have given me on previous topics!!!

yeah thats where i got the information from, but in the 1901 census there is no trace of him, how do you get the marriage certificates online, i presume they were married in lurgan as thats where all my family are from!!

No luck in finding them in 1901 yet

The civil registration index is online (free) but the actual marriage certificate will not be. See here for details included on marriage certificates, how to order them, etc.-

I haven't found the family in 1901 yet- perhaps the name has been mistranscribed or they're in a missing bit that's not online. Hopefully someone else will have better luck finding them.

Not only can I not find the family in 1901 but they are being very elusive in marriage indexes and in birth registrations for their children. Beginning to wonder if they were using a variation of the surname pre-1911?

[jigguy29]

would it be uprichard or something?

There is an Eliza Uprichard near enough the correct age in 1901 but unmarried. Her occupation is hemstitch folder-

Perhaps they weren't married 12 years in 1911 as census said but then where is James Bridget in 1901
