1821 Census McDonald Forkill, Armagh

[cire]

In my search for a Daniel McDonald and his parents, I have found a McDonald family, with a son Daniel in the 1821 Ireland census. The family lived in Aughanduff, Forkill, Armagh. Daniel's age is right for the person I am searching for, but the head of the house is down as "widow Owen McDonald" aged 52. Am I right in thinking that this means that the mother was the widow of Owen McDonald?

I got the details from the RootsIreland site, looking for Daniel NcDonald born about 1800 in the "census" option.

Forkhill Census was only discovered in a box in Armagh after the Census went online....

Don't know if/when the NAI are going to add it.

Thanks for the helpful replies and sorry for the long delay in answering ------visitors etc!!!

I made some progress in looking for Daniel & Anne Mcdonald. I have found 8 christenings in Aghagallon register of children of Daniel and Anne. In each case the surname is McDonnell and Anne's surname Odgers obviously caused problems for the parish priest or his clerk. It appears as Ogirs; Adjis; Adyers; Agers and Augers. The register starts in 1829 and we know of 2 children born before that, so 1-0 children found. I can't find the family in what remains of the 1851 census for Aghagallon. I know three went to Australia.

with regard to the "widow" bit in the 1821 census , I noted a similar words somewhere else. 
I presume it means either

Widow(er) Owen McDonald or
widow of Owen McDonald   Who knows!!!!

thanks again

It would almost certainly be the widow of Owen McDonald as his name would have just been recorded as Owen McDonald.
