Wow, thank you so much for all that information it will be a great help. I have been looking through my notes and I cannot find out where I got that date of birth for Alice. The family in the 1901 & 1911 census are correct for my "Lennons" . Robert Dick j1899 was my Grandfather. I am forever grateful , Carol

According to 1911, Robert & Alicia had been married for 20 years, and had had 5 children, all still living in 1911.

I don't see their marriage, nor any birth for Robert.

As Alice is called Alicia in some of the children's birth records, and the censuses say she was born in Co Down, maybe this is her birth, rather than the Belfast birth:


SR District/Reg Area - Newtownards
Birth of ALICIA MCGEE in 1866
Name ALICIA MCGEE
Date of Birth 1866
Group Registration ID 8380933
SR District/Reg Area Newtownards


12/03/1866 at Carnalea, Bangor, Newtonards, Co Down.
Parents: Thomas McGee, gardener, and Margaret McGee nee McCullough.


Are you absolutely sure your Alice was born 24/03/1865, Carol?
Do you have her death or other cert stating that?

Alice's birth ??:

SR District/Reg Area - Belfast
Birth of ALICE MCGEE in 1865
Name ALICE MCGEE
Date of Birth 1865 [ 24/03/1865 ]
Group Registration ID 8143890
SR District/Reg Area Belfast

Alice's parents were John McGee and Mary McGee nee McMahon.
Place of birth: 19 Milford Street, Belfast, which was the family home.
John was a tailor.
Informant: Sophia Downey, nurse, present at birth.


The censuses say Alice was born in Co down - but the birth was in Belfast, if that's the correct one. DOB matches what you say.

Have you considered obtaining a copy of the marriage certificate?

If they knew their father’s, the names will be recorded

Where did you find Alice’s DOB?
