- (Research):Is this a brother (William Henry)?
There is some confusion about whether Henry William Douglas or William Henry Douglas is the correct formulation but the former seems to have the plurality opinion. Henry was born abt. 1856 and died 8 July 1916. On 10 Mar 1876 according to the Armagh registry office he married Lucinda Holmes, b. 1858. In both the 1901 and 1911 Censuses of Ireland the family is shown living in Ballyaros, Milford, Armagh. As far as we know, Henry and Lucinda's children, all of whom were born in Armagh, included: Alexander, 1877; Minnie, 1878; Emily, 1880; Charlotte, 1885; Bertha, 1886; Letitia, 1891 (our connection through her marriage to Martin Lenaghan of the RIC); Margaret, 1894; and Lily, 1901.
Based on the 1911 Ireland Census posted by the Natl. Archives of Ireland, we believe the family we are seeking is that of Henry William Douglas, 55, a cord cutter, living at house no. 7, Monaghan Road, Milford Town, Armagh, wife Lucinda, 48, married daughter Charlotte Housten, 22 (and her son Thomas, 1), Letitia, 18, and Margaret, 16, all linen damask weavers, and Lillie, 9, a scholar. Letitia married Martin Lenaghan of Cullentragh, Mayo, a member of the RIC stationed in Portadown at St. Malachy's RC Church in Belfast later in 1911. The Douglas family was Presbyterian.
