Find Ancestors

Please could someone help me find Richard James Magor. I have him on the 1911 census. He was born 1870 in Cork, Ireland. His parents were called Richard & Mary Magor. I can't seem to find him on any other census. I have his mother with other children on the 1881. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Where was Mary in 1881? Would help if you could list the details.

Rose

Sorry Mary was in Kent in 1881

Who is Richard with in 1911?

Rose

He is married to Harriet Magor, says they have been married 7 years and a stepson William Pitcher. Think I found marriage on freebmd, 1903 in Woolwich.

So he married as James?

Hi Portland Rose

I know that his father was with the Royal Engineers and 1 of his brothers was with the Seaforth Highlanders, so I guess there is a possibility that he was in the army aswell. It is just that I can find details of his borthers and sister on various census, but nothing on him other than the 1911. On the 1881 census it says his mother, Mary, is a widow. I was just interested to fin out where is was between 1870 and 1911. One brother William was born in 1873 in Ireland aswell, but the other brother and sister were born in Kent in 1875 and 1878. He would of only been 11 in 1881 so why isnt he with his family?
