MDK:

Here are the O'Neills in Warrenpoint from head of household index of 1901 census.  Looks like we have Terence there so you might be able to get some of the children on the census.

I also did a quick search on Ros Davies' site and think I found Terence's father and mother.

 Patrick O'NEILL . Warrenpoint husband of Alice Hughes ; father of Terence b. 30 Aug 1869 CR

You might want to do a search there also for Murphy.

Checking the Vital Records Index I found info on birth together with Film Number for Terence and his sister.

Well, I hope that this is indeed your Terence and good luck in your further searching. If you think I can be of any help, let me know. I originally came from Warrenpoint but am now in US so I do have a soft spot for anyone with family there.

Thanks it does seem possible that this is the right Terence, the dates seem about right.  As my Terence had his son John in 1898 in warrenpoint (he would be 29) and John was the 7th child of 10, so there are 6 children before John and at a guess of 1 child per year or so, the oldest was born about 1890 and terence would have been about 21.

I guess i need to lookup the 1901 census for warrenpoint any ideas on how to do this.

Im in New Zealand.

Maria:
You  can order the film at your nearest Family History Center and search it there. The cost is minimal, about $3.50 in USA. Here is link to LDS and a listing of centers in New Zealand.   http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp

Good luck!

Hiya mdk,

I note Pat Reid mentioned a Henry O'Neill in his message to you. I bought a 1970-1 Bangor, Co. Down, Directory yesterday in a local charity shop. It lists the members of Down County Council. The Councillor for Warrenpoint in those days was Henry O'Neill who owned the Crown Hotel in the town.

All the Best, Christopher
