I’m seeking help in learning more about my 3x great grandparents. I know that Margaret had a daughter named Amelia with someone else before marrying Patrick in 1878. Together, they had my 2x great-grandmother, Lucinda, in 1880. I’m curious if they had any additional children and if anyone could help locate Margaret or Patrick in the 1911 census. I found Margaret in the 1901 census with her daughters and two grandchildren, but these children don’t seem to be Amelia’s or Lucinda’s, as Lucinda had her first child in 1910, and the 1911 census shows that Amelia didn’t have any children. I haven’t been able to find Patrick in any census records, nor any death records for Margaret, Patrick, or Amelia—only for Lucinda. Any information about them or their parents would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Shandog,
This looks to be the birth of Cecil Hunter who appears in the 1901 census. Parents were Thomas Hunter (a soldier) & Isabella Cunningham with an address in Aldershot. That’s a big army base and so the parents were evidently living there.
I don’t see a marriage for them in Ireland and suspect they may have married in England or somewhere else outside Ireland.
This may be William Cunningham in the 1901 census. Illegitimate birth to a Margaret Cunningham living then at Drummullan:
This looks to be the marriage between Amelia Cunningham & Edmond Crooks in 1894. Father named as John Cunningham:
Amelia & husband in 1911. No children born to the marriage.

As both Amelia & Margaret were using the surname Cunningham rather than McKenna, the inference is they were born before Margaret’s marriage to Patrick McKenna.
Amelia’s birth perhaps:
Likewise this could be Margaret’s birth in 1868:
