It's easier for us to help you if you provide as much information as possible. Any idea of names? dates? exactly what are you looking for?

Names are George Strain father, Mary mother, children Hugh, George, Samuel, Maggie, Mamie, Nellie and Ida.  George was born around late 1870's but was still in the down area on the 1911 census so it would have been after this when he moved to Bessbrook

Here's a link to the family in 1911 census with some of the children- perhaps George and Nellie are the 2 children who died before 1911?:

Although, the details don't quite match with the 1901 census details-

Yes this is the person I wrote about I know about his life in the Co Down area it is what happened to the family when they moved to Bessbrook.  Is any of the family still there.

Barbarax - are you on Facebook? If so there is a Bessbrook page where people from Bessbrook interact. Ask to join the group and then ask about the Strains. If there is a Strain family in Bessbrook someone will know. I'm a member (my mother lives in Bessbrook) but I'm not aware of any. Hope this helps.
