Thanks Hobbit, It says mother, I know her name it is the initials on the first picture I can't get. I think they say U.D. but have no idea what they stand for.

There's another map showing the townland of Dacklin at:
http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/MAPS/killummod.html

Not many people in Dacklin in the 1901 census on that site - and no MAXWELLs.

I see that Johnston MAXWELL was in Dacklin (he was the only MAXWELL there) in the Griffith Valuations at:

What u or n D means I have no idea I'm afraid - the 'D' looks exactly like that in Percy's MD but the first letter seems to be a 'u' or an 'n' to me.

Annie,

It looks like it i definitely a D and maybe a U but it trained nurse of is an address which I am pretty happy to say is in Ireland carrick on Shannon. Just that last two letters. They are also written under the when and where died part of the cert so are they some sort of postcode? or area abreviation?

I linked Ethel to him through her parents marraige certificate. Had his father as Johnston Maxwell a farmer.  That and his use of Brown let me to a possible Brown in 1881 cenus from Ireland. Family lore has us having ancestors in Ireland so I hopped onto Griffiths and found Johnston there.

How does my logic go?

Rosanne,

For a while I've been trying to make the two letters into Ird - for Ireland.  But the scribe is very particular about dotting his 'i's - though, if it's meant to be a capital 'I' ...

What year did Ethel die?  I glanced at some of your other posts and it seems that Ethel was born in England?  So I wonder why she is 'of Dacklin, Carrick on Shannon' - did the family travel back and forth until mother brought Ethel to the seaside hoping that her TB might be helped by the sea air ...

I see that Johnston's extent and value in the GV are on the Web at:

Johnston MAXWELL is a great name!  One would not think that there would be too many of them around.

I wonder when Johnston died - preferably after civil registration came in (1864).

There seem to be some Catholic church records listed for Killummod in the catalogue on FamilySearch but it's not all that clear what they include.

Ethel died in 1909 aged 26. She never married but left behind a son (my grandfather) Noel born in 1903 in London. I have no idea why Ethel would be in Ireland except my hope of Johnston and family. Johnston was married to Frances Ganly also from Roscommon. Maybe she went after son was born to escape the shame of illegitemate birth? Many of the Kidsons (Mary's family) were nurses. My only record of Johnston is on marriage cert of son and Griffiths. Also LDS had him married to Frances Ganly in 1843. Johnston was born about 1818. So there is hope he lived past 1864!!

The UD stands, I believe, for "Urban District" (as opposed to Rural District I guess!).  I could be wrong though.

[rosanne]

That sound plausable. At least it's something. She died in what looks like Firs House. Does this mean father's house do you think?

Have a look.
