Mystery of my Mother as a Reynolds in Castlederg
« on: Friday 27 October 17 15:59 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find roots on my Mothers side and desperate to find any connection to the name Reynolds in or around Castlederg.
I have very little information on her life in Ireland and can only refer to her marriage certificate from 1933 when she lived in Cross Street, Larne with witnesses Daniel McAuley and Agnes Fleck at St Cedmas.
Sadie Reynolds, born 1912. Father William Reynolds (Farmer) believed to have been born and raised on a farm in Castlederg. Possibly eldest of six children including twin girls who were all split up maybe around 1928.
I'd be grateful for any leads or suggestions.

Twin girls might be easier to spot.

There is a Florence and Catherine in 1912 Belfast, father William but he's a boilermaker

Thanks for the replies.

The reason I call this a mystery is that I can't find any reference to the surname Reynolds in Castlederg area at any point in history - even today.
Births, Deaths, Marriage, Census, Graves, Land records etc; - nothing on the name Reynolds in or around Castlederg. Closest is Cookstown area where it is a fairly common name.

1911 parents born Scotland so doesn't sound like the correct family
