Source of screen grab on web.

GalwayClonbur (Galway)

loftus listI finally found a Clonbur birth record of an Ellen Loftus in the 1890s which verifies that my relative Bridget Lowry married a Patrick Loftus.  However, when I find a Loftus/Lowry family in Clonbur census archives there is no child named Ellen listed.  I assume the child may have died but to my consternation I found a screen grab in my collection of information that lists an Ellen but I did not write down the source or web address.  In its listing of Loftus in Clonbur appears Ellen.  I've attached the image I grabbed in hopes that someone could tell me what internet archive page I was looking at when I grabbed this image.  I'd like to return to it and find Ellen.

Can?t help you with the screengrab. However this link will take you to all the Loftus listed in Cloonbur townland in 1901. It includes the Ellen you listed:

I apologize for this late but heartfelt thanks for the replies to my question above.  I must admit that the sites email brought me here several times but I must I was just plain ignorant on how to get here.   Thank you so much for what is most useful and appreciated information.

Thanks to the feedback from the folks who replied to my first post I am quite positive that some blood members of my great-grandfather Peter Lowry's family of Ballydoolaugh continued on in Ireland when his daughter Bridget married Patrick Loftus in Clonbur - walking distance from her home.  They had nine children according to the census records.  And a photo of a gravestone from Clonbur's Rosshill cemetary shows two of their children were buried with them. (Attached)  Now I have some reason to walk around Clonbur on a visit to see if any Loftus folk have shown an interest in their relatives.  Thanks again to the folks who replied to my inquiry with enough information to verify the Lowry/Loftus link in Clonbur.
