David Tedford

Hi Roger,

Thanks for finding those details,

I don't think he's my David unfortunately. I've already looked at the 1901 one, and unless he remarried after he was widowed he isn't the right one. I've also had a look at the 1911 one too, but I've already ruled him out as he was a farmer and my David was a weaver. I looked at his will, and found his son also named David, and did a bit of detective work but his parents aren't related to to my David..

Thanks,

Daryl

Hi Roger,

Many thanks for finding those death entries regarding David & Hannah. I have already looked at that David before, and dont think he's my one unfortunately. I looked at his will, and managed to find a son also named David in Glasgow but details didn't fit.

I haven't found that entry for Hannah though, I'm wondering if David re-married if Hannah died young. There is a David in the 1901 census in Derrykeeran who's living with a Lavinia nee Haire, mother in law, and a son Robert George aged 18 yrs old. The only thing that doesn't fit is his occupation, which is a farmer.  I wonder if there's a marriage for them which might give more details. My David Tedford was a weaver.

Thanks for finding the info.

Regards,

Daryl

Hi Roger,

I've found the marriage record for David & Lavinia which was on 2 July 1897 at St Paul's church, 

Tartaraghan. I've also found a birth cert for Robert George Tedford who was living with him in

1901, which states his mother was Hannah Vaughan.

I can't seem to find David, Robert, or Lavinia's death. I have found Lavinia's mother Eliza's death on

30 Oct 1903 in Lurgan though.

I had a look at the 1911 census for them, but couldn't find any of them. The only one I did find was a David who was in Derrinraw, Armagh and was a widower. He was in his 70's, so he was the wrong age for my David, who would have been in his early 60's by the 1911 census.

There was also a death for a David in 1917, but I think it's the same as the one in the 1911 census.

Regards,

Daryl
