Hi. I've been searching for information on my grandparent's x3 who came from Derry, N.Ireland. The 1911 census has them residing at Dark Lane with their daughter Annie; there had been 3 daughters (Annie, Bridget and Nellie) Nellie has also disappeared but the family think she may have died?

Any information from board members, if possible would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Angela
