That right Gins - Sarah signed Lizzie's death certificate in 1922.

Hi Peter

Is this your Sarah?


Residents of a house 24 in Saintfield Parks (Saintfield, Down)


Cardwell Sarah 52 Female Head of Family Presbyterian
Fenis Lizzie Jane 50 Female Sister Presbyterian

I think it says Ferris for the sister

Thanks Potty - I'll try the site for the certificate, but not sure about the census as i can't seem to find George Ferris on there.

I'll keep this post updated.

Peter, are you aware that the 1901 & 1911 Irish censuses are available to view free (including images) on this site:

Sorry about wrong info - should have asked OH, he is an Ulsterman!

Try this site for Irish (Eire) certs:

http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/bdm/Certificates/

You can also get pre-1921 Northern Ireland certs from there.

Married MarieCeleste. Sorry I should have explained.

Peter, was Cardwell Sarah's married or maiden name?

Thank you - I will have a look on there. I do like to have a guiding hand with things like this.

I do wonder if I could have a bit of advice - I am looking for the death of a Sarah Cardwell, born 1848, who died AFTER 1922, I ASSUME in Northern Ireland but I don't know. The same goes for George Ferris, born 1863, her brother. He was a barber in 1892 in Saintfield.

The family were from Saintfield but no idea where the ended up and that is what I would like to find out. There are other siblings but these two are the first I would like to find.

Thank you for any advice.

Looks very much to me, looking at a map, as though Co Monaghan is just over the border from Northern Ireland.

No Potty, tried again but to no avail. Any ideas? It too thought that was Northern Ireland.

Thank you Potty - I thought the same so will have another look.

And yeah Jude, I see what you mean :)

No Peter - look at Marie's avatar! ha! :-)

Peter, Castleblayney seems to be in County Monaghan which is in Northern Ireland, so you should be able to view on the same site as the others.

If that is for me Jude, no, certainly not a football fan.

But yes that is a fantastic link.

On another note, any idea where I can find this death?

I suspect this is my ancestor and would like to confirm:

MC - good link (not that I have any NI rellies)!

Guess you are not a football fan

Indeed. I couldn't agree more. I'm currently ordering a LOT of certificates just to validate a family tree which is correct (or has been so far as the certs have proved) so I can print and frame a copy. At the moment, it is proving very expensive.

I think it's a relatively new development Peter, but a step in the right direction.

If only English records could be accessed this way.

Thank you MarieCeleste! Success! Getting the info as we speak. Thank you so much.

Was concerned I wouldn't be able to get this information!

Wow, very happy thanks to you.

Ah this is new to me. Wow, when I inquired on the phone they said it would cost £8 search and then a following £7 for a copy of the certificate.

This way seems much simpler Thanks MarieCeleste.
