Tracing the McDonnell's Forwards - Part 2

Original post

Hurrah!

The 1911 Census now has Durham and Yorkshire online, so I went digging for more information on the McDonnell's.

On my previous post I had some McDonnell children which were possibly part of my tree but didn't know where they lived. I've now managed to trace a few of them using the 1911 census and it would seem two of them were my grandfather's brothers!

Charles McDonnell - Q2 1906 Sculcoates 9d 227

Albert Edward McDonnell - Q3 1906 Sculcoates 9d 196 [Married Emily C Booth 1929 St Philips (Bilton Grange) Hull]

Louis Desmond McDonnell - Q1 1909 Sculcoates 9d 193 [Married Ellen Parker 1933 St Andrew (Drypool) Hull]

Charles, Albert and Louis are now all accounted for and do belong in my tree.

Lily McDonnell - Q2 1909 Sculcoates 9d 198 [Married Frank Stainforth 1933 St Andrew (Drypool) Hull]

Robert William - Q3 1909 Sculcoates 9d 209

Henry Albert McDonnell - Q1 1907 Sculcoates 9d 186 [Married Nellie Tait 1930 Sculcoates Register Offices Hull?]

Lily, Robert and Henry are still on the "to find" list.

It would seem that Albert Edward McDonnell and Emily Booth had at least one child, Horace E McDonnell.

Multitasking

While waiting for the 1911 Census to upload East Ridings and Durham online I've been looking at both sides of my family tree...........I am convinced one day my son will be interested and not just sigh and roll his eyes at the mention of it!

Anyway I've been looking into William Murrell....again!!! I've contacted a couple of people on Ancestry who I've found to have a possible match....watch this space!!

I've also been looking at the Permain side of the tree and found a possible link that goes back to Hampshire. I'm waiting on a birth certificate at the moment and then it's full steam ahead to see what else I can find! William Permain was an upholsterer....it seems after he was a soldier, and a lodging house keeper in Kensington. He married a Caroline Burford, born in Ross Herefordshire, in 1868. Caroline died in 1879 and William went on to marry Emily Halbeard who was born in Birmingham in 1840. William's father was Thomas, and I believe his mother was Elizabeth ?? From census records I think he had a sister Martha Hewlett Permain, and two brothers, George and John. Emily Halbeards family appear interesting....but that's a whole other post for another day!

Am practising patience while awaiting the 1911 ........................
