Hi Bob, Dave is right, most of this is online and easily accessible. And I assume he is working on the principle, give a man a fish and he eats for one day, give him a fishing rod and he eats forever.
However, I can never resist an opportunity to show off, so...... These are all children born to Alexander Reid and Ann Steenson/Stinson, all on RootsIreland: Action Source Surname First Name Year County View Civil Birth Reid Mary 1882 Co. Tyrone View Civil Birth Reid Catherine 1884 Co. Tyrone View Civil Birth Reid Elizabeth Anne 1886 Co. Tyrone View Civil Birth Reid Sarah Jane 1888 Co. Tyrone No Thomas at either IrishGenealogy or RootsIreland, nor indeed at GRONI, the official Northern Ireland website. This is their marriage, which will push you back a further generation because it gives the names of both fathers, and as Dave says, the full record is online at IrishGenealogy: Party 1 Name ALEXANDER REID Party 2 Name ANNIE STINSON Date of Event 15 June 1880 Group Registration ID 2677080 SR District/Reg Area Dungannon Image On the basis of Alexander being married in the Parish of Killeshill, and there being no James Reid in Finelly, I am fairly sure this is your family in the big land survey which we use as a census substitute=ute: Griffith's Valuation Record Information Tenant Family Name 1 REID Forename 1 JAMES Landlord Family Name 2 EVANS Forename 2 ROBERT Location County TYRONE Barony DUNGANNON, LOWER Union DUNGANNON Parish KILLEESHIL Townland ENNISH Place Name ENNISH Place Type TOWNLAND Publication Details Position on Page 22 Printing Date 1860 Act 15&16 Sheet Number 53 Map Reference 13 You can find this information here and it is the core of Irish genealogy because it gives the exact location of a family's home: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ And this is almost definitely the Stinson family home: Griffith's Valuation Record Information Tenant Family Name 1 STENSON Forename 1 WILLIAM Landlord Family Name 2 GOFF Forename 2 JOSEPH Location County TYRONE Barony DUNGANNON, LOWER Union DUNGANNON Parish KILLEESHIL Townland CLONTYFALLOW Place Name CLONTYFALLOW Place Type TOWNLAND Publication Details Position on Page 14 Printing Date 1860 Act 15&16 Sheet Number 53 Map Reference 3 Knowing the names of some of the children of Alexander and Ann confirms that the family you found in Crew is indeed the right one: Residents of a house 1 in Crew (Benburb, Tyrone) Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion Birthplace Occupation Literacy Irish Language Marital Status Specified Illnesses Reid Alexander 60 Male Head of Family Presbyterian Co Tyrone Farmer Read and write - Married - Reid Annie 50 Female Wife Presbyterian Co Tyrone Farmers Wife Read and write - Married - Reid Mary 18 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone Dressmaker Read and write - Not Married - Reid Cathrine 16 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone Scholar Read and write - Not Married - Reid Elizabeth 14 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone Scholar Read and write - Not Married - Reid Sarah 12 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone Scholar Read and write - Not Married - Reid Lilly 9 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone Scholar Read and write - Not Married - Reid Daniel 19 Male Visitor Presbyterian Co Tyrone Farm Servant Read and write - Not Married - And they are still there in 1911, in the same place using the same spelling, so not quite sure why you cannot find them: 1911 Census: Residents of a house 5 in Crew (Benburb, Tyrone) Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion Birthplace Occupation Literacy Irish Language Marital Status Specified Illnesses Years Married Children Born Children Living Reid Alexander 70 Male Head of Family Presbyterian Co Tyrone Farmer Read and write - Married - - - - Reid Annie 60 Female Wife Presbyterian Co Tyrone - Read and write - Married - 30 5 5 Reid Catherine 27 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone - Read and write - Single - - - - Reid Lillie 19 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone - Read and write - Single - - And there are still Stinsons in Clontyfallow in 1911: 1911 Census: Residents of a house 2 in Clontyfallow (Clonaneese, Tyrone) Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion Birthplace Occupation Literacy Irish Language Marital Status Specified Illnesses Years Married Children Born Children Living Stinson Samuel 70 Male Head of Family Presbyterian Co Tyrone Farmer Read and write - Married - - - - Stinson Margaret 57 Female Wife Presbyterian Co Tyrone - Read and write - Married - 34 8 8 Stinson William J 22 Male Son Presbyterian Co Tyrone Farmer's Son Read and write - Single - - - - Stinson Margaret J 24 Female Daughter Presbyterian Co Tyrone National School Teacher Read and write - Single - - - - Mallon Peter 24 Male Servant Roman Catholic Co Tyrone Farm Labourer Read and write - Single - - - - This is Alexander's death and the full record is available free at IrishGenealogy, where you will learn the name of the man one of the Reid Girls married: Name ALEXANDER REID Year of Death 1921 Group Registration ID 3339983 SR District/Reg Area Dungannon Deceased Age at Death 81 Image It takes time and patience to research your family history anywhere, including Ireland. I have been doing it for 18 years. There are plenty of places where you can learn how to research in Ireland and this one is a good start (probably because it is mine): https://www.facebook.com/pg/westulstergenealogy/notes/?ref=page_internal Happy hunting!
