Good afternoon on this bright sunny day in March

Margaret Bartley/Barclay married Alexander Patton  1861 Aghaderg Down

Her father John Bartley I am looking for his wife
His father was George Patton I am looking for his wife

Alexander was a Baker in Dromore in 1893.
1901 Cesus: I have no idea where Alexander was or if his wife was still alive

Here's Alexander Patton in 1911 census-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Armagh/Lurgan_Urban/Market_Street/296275

... which made it very easy to find Alexander Patton in 1901 still in Market St., Lurgan- given as retired merchant, single, able to read and write (unlike 1911)-

It's possible that son-in-law meant 'single' as not married rather than stating 'widower.'

Death registration gives Margaret Patton's age as 64 so born c1846 and a bit young to be Alexander's wife (even if she hadn't died before 1901 as census indicate). Suspect this is the 1901 census record for Margaret who died 1910-

Yes I think you are right I never thought of searching on the 1901 for a Margaret Patton......

Ah! a ten year census and Alexander only ages by 5 years............and I thought that was a 'women' thing...

Although it gets me no further apart from you finding him on the 1901 which tells me she died ( or is likely to) prior to 1901 thank you and he was living in Dromore 1893...Lurgan 1901 BUT his daughter married in Blaris ( any thoughts why? Could it be a family church at Blaris?)

I need to look at Presbyterian records....any ideas where to start?

John Barclay's wife was Agnes McCammon.
Both had resided in the townland of Derrydrummuck before their marriage 22nd Novenber,1853 in Glascar Presbyterian Church. Margaret had a brother Nathaniel who inherited the Barclay farm.
I hope this is helpful.

Thank you for that...which is exactly where I shall start my search
