Hi Bridie

In 1911 two families seemed to have shared that property (names Rosbotham and McLaughlin). There was a John Magee living there (perhaps a lodger) and he was listed as being 33 years old but the only sign of Mary Ann is a 1 year old listed as Mary Ann Mahood .... I'm willing to bet this is a spelling mistake on behalf of the census agent because the baby is listed as being the daughter of Mary Ann Rosbotham. If John is your grandfather, then perhaps he and Mary Ann were not married. (Don't worry, we all find skeletons in the closet researching our family history )

If the above doesn't ring true for you then perhaps you could provide some more details (as in other family members names). If so, I'll do some rummaging around for you .... but I can't promise anything

Bridie, Mary Ann Rosbotham is registered living in 37 Durham street for at least 20 years , could have been multiple residents and not all registered .

This may be a red herring and it muddies the water even further. On 31 Jan 1898 William Mahood married Isabella Cooney (formerly Rosbotham) in St. Annes Church of Ireland, Shankill.

thankyou joe my grandmothers married name was rosbottom and their she is. i am trying to find out about my grandfather who i think was called joseph mahood and he was a policeman at divis st. barricks. but on my mothers birth certificate my mother and grandmother is named as mary ann magee which was my grandmothers maiden name .my mother grew up as rosbottom and married believe it or not a young man called james magee my dad.oh this gets better i have just noticed that a w mahood was living at no 43 durham st. thankyou so much if i can find the census i might find my grandfather .

thankyou morrison but my mother was born in 1910

fra the one year old is my mother im trying to find out about my grandfather who was mahood joseph i think and your right my grandmother was not married to mr mahood she was a widow married name rosbottom maiden name magee

fra i think john magee was my grandmothers brother thankyou for your help im loving it as i dont know where to start im living in leeds yorkshire by the way

Hiya Bridie

Are you sure it was Joseph Mahood? I've checked every Mahood listed and can't seem to find any who was a policeman.

I'm on a mission now so throw me a few more clues!
