I have just joined this mail list and wish to locate someone who might have access to the 1901 County Antrim Census Index. My grandmother, Sarah Speers/Speirs was born 11 June 1881 in Aghavary, Ballyscullion, District of Toome, Ballymena, Northern Ireland. She was probably raised by her Grandmother, Elizabeth Duff, widow of David Duff, after her mother emigrated to the United States in 1891. When her Grandmother Duff died in 1900 in Northern Ireland, it is assumed that Sarah emigrated to Busby, Renfrewshire, Scotland, where her mother's brothers were found on the 1891 Busby Census. Sarah didn't accompany her mother and infant half-sister to the U.S. for some unknown reason. It may be that Sarah contracted Tuberculosis from her father, or maybe she didn't like her new step-father, James Marshall. According to Sarah's passenger list, she emigrated from the town of Busby, Renfrewshire, Scotland. She departed Glasgow on the S.S. Norwegian 28 June 1901, arriving at the port of Boston, Massachusetts on 10 July 1901. However, after an extensive search of the 1901 Scotland census, Sarah was not found. Now it is assumed that she may have still been in Northern Ireland when the census was taken in March or April, and only went to Busby just before her departure for the U.S. Would greatly appreciate anyone's help in this matter. Thank you very much. Carol (Forsyth) Kroeger - Moline, Illinois, USA --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games
