Would like to find out where he was in 1901 and 1911, if he married and had children, if so it would be very helpful to find someone with knowledge of the family.

According to what you posted earlier on another thread he wasn't in 1901 or 1911 Irish census- have you searched for him in Scotland for those years?

came across your post, just wondering if the James Rainey you have could be the one I have been searching for, my James Rainey/Rennie was born in Ballycastle County Antrim in 1876, he was from a Presbyterian family of farmers, he is not on the Ireland Census of 1901 or 1911

No, I haven't looked on the scottish census, at the moment I don't have subs for ancestry.com or scotland people.

Many libraries subscribe to Ancestry Library Edition where you can view transcripted details from Scottish census up to 1911 (1911 only available on Scotland's People).

He was most likely Presbyterian 80% of the probables were, 20% were RC.....

Hi 'lib 58'

as James was your great grandfather he obviously got married - so who to, and when and where ?

Do you have the marriage cert with his father's name and occupation ?

Do you know where he was on 1901 or 1911 ?

I found this unusual one on familysearch - it's unusual in that there is no mention of the mother, only the grandmother - I'm not sure if this is a mistranscription or not though

James Rainey
23 Feb 1876
Bally Castle, Antrim, Ireland
Father John Rainey
Paternal Grandmother's Name Mary Rainey
