Find Ancestors

I'm trying to trace the parents of Edward Sloan c1870 at Broghshane,Ireland. He married twice, first of all to a a lady called Mary ?? and his second wife was Martha Quigley c1888. He had two children that i know of, Edward Sloan who died at 8 days old & Robert Sloan who was born in 1926 in Larne Northen Ireland. Robert later Married an Agnes McKee.

Any Help will be greatfully appreciated.

The only one that I can see in 1911 is this one but the names of his inlaws are wrong - unless of course they are the parents of his first wife?

The image says Edward has been married under 1 year. The in-laws married 55 years, 5 children 4 still living.

Possible for Edward's first marriage?

Looks like the in-laws on that 1911 census are actually from his first marriage as this marriage is on the same page as Edward's.

If you buy the marriage certificate it will give the name and occupation of Edward's father.

Garry, the Irish census is free here

The marriage details that I have posted came from the Familysearch beta site which is free too.

Well done Maura! Loooks like the census are the correct ones then. The in-laws in 1911 are from his first marriage and it does say on the 1911 that he and Martha had only been married for one year.
