Hi all,

I have a Henry Maxwell b 1874/6 marrying a Kate Oakes 1905 in Bangor Northern Ireland.
Henry is in Dublin in 1906 at a baptism.
No sign of him in the 1911 Ireland census though.
He may have emigrated to Austrlalia probably.

Can anyone find a record that may confirm this.

Thanks,

Simon.

Helen, Maura, Jan,

Thanks for looking.
America has been mentioned but as a rumour.
Kate going to NewYork, could be her.
Is there an earlier record of Henry leaving / arriving.

Thanks again,

Simon.

Maura,

Thanks. I've looked on the census too and picked that up.
I'm not sure how complete the records are for Ireland but have a note that the parents could be Jamesand Mary Shiels as you say.

Will keep looking for Henry and Kate.
Of course they could be in England!
I'll have a look in the 1911 census.

Cheers,

Simon.
