1901 http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Dungiven/Dungiven/1524269/
1911
http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Londonderry/Dungiven/Main_Street/595193/

Comparing those two census records there are numerous inconsistencies-
1901 mother Ellen is not married, 1911 Ellen is 15 years older, married etc.
1901 Joseph is 38, 44 in 1911
ages of children Annie & Robert are also not matching up
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Yes it's been a very difficult one to solve. Strange how on Ellen's death she is also recorded as a spinster when she should be a widow.

Thank you for all the organising of the records.
