Catherine FRAZER & Thomas LITTLE

TyroneKildress (Tyrone)

I am seeking information on this couple who were married in 1877 at the Presbyterian Church Oritor - Parish of Kildress

Catherine was from Ballynasollus & Thomas from Gortin.

Their Fathers were David FRAZER & Thomas LITTLE both Farmers

Witnesses Andrew & Lydia CHARLES

 

They appear to have had only one child: Thomas LITTLE born 1879 in Gortin

We think it is him on the 1901 Census living with the Hopper family in Molesworth Street, Cookstown.

 

Other than that, we cannot find death records for any of them, nor find Catherine and/or Thomas Snr

on the 1901 Census nor Catherine, Thomas Snr or Thomas Jnr in 1911

They were not Catholic.

 

Any help much appreciated.

TIA

Brigitte

Brigitte,

Thomas and Catherine had a second child: Jane born 11.9.1881.

I don’t know what became of her.

This may be Catherine Little’s death in 1888 in Dungannon Workhouse, aged 32. Her previous address was Gortin:

It’s possible that Thomas senior then remarried in Belfast in 1893 to Margaret Martin:

The family in 1901:

1911:

The above Thomas looks to have died in Belfast Workhouse in 1918:

He’s buried in the City Cemetery.

Elwyn,

Just had a look at that marriage to Margaret and I don't think that is our Thomas as

on the marr record when he married Catherine his Father's name is Thomas not Simon.

Elwyn,

Even though the ages do not tie up with estimated dates of birth:

the death for Catherine in the workhouse could well be her I think

At time of death she was married. So Thomas presumably was still alive.

I have now found a death for a Thomas also formerly of Gortin in the workhouse in 1898 he is listed as a Widower

This seems to tie up and if this is them, it would explain why I couldn't find them on the 1901 & 1911 Census.

I Just have to have a further look now for Thomas the Son and Daughter Jane.

I have realised, since you sent your findings, that I need to search differently on the irishgenealogy.ie website.

Many thanks again for your help.

Regards,

Brigitte
