Virgina, When you say her parents and siblings were living in Scriggan, do you mean in the 1901 census? And if so, was Jane not in Mulkeeragh in the 1901 census? Or are you using other evidence for her folks being in Scriggan and actually need a look-up of both townlands in the 1901 census? That would be relatively easy but to search the whole census for the Dungiven/Limavady area would not be practical. The only access to the 1901 census, as far as I know, is in Derry City Central Library. You could send for it from SLC at your local Family History Centre.

I am looking for a Jane Smith/Smyth born 1873 in Scotland. In 1901 she would have been living around Dungiven and Limavady. When she married in 1902 her residence was given as Mulkeeragh. Her parents and siblings were living in Scriggan, but she wasn't with them. > Regards, > Virginia > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NIR-DERRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I have a copy of the 1901 census of Jane's family in Scriggan from a genealogist some years ago. There is a little bit of a mystery in the story. Jane's parents were married in Scotland in 1873 and she was born about two months later. Neither of them was very young--he was 29 and she was 23, but it appears they ran away from Ireland to be married. They had three more children in Scotland before 1887 before returning to Ireland. They are on the 1881 census for Scotland, but Jane is not included. Jane told the story that when she was very little, her father took her to Ireland and left her there with relatives and no explanation. So I thought that I might now locate her on the 1901 census and find out who raised her-probably Smyths and probably in Mulkeeragh. Her father had a sister Eleanor born in 1848 and two brothers that I know of-John 1833 and Henry 1853. Thanks to those who offered direction. Regards, Virginia

Virginia, I will check the 1901 census of Mulkeeragh for you as I work very near the Central Library in Derry. I see that Mulkeeragh is in the DED of Ballykelly. I was brought up in Ballykelly though I have never heard of Mulkeeragh.
