I am coming to Ireland in June and would like to connect with any descendents of my paternal grand father who i believe was a twin. His mother's name was Elizabeth and maiden name may have been McCourt. They lived in Lurgan. Robert moved to Australia not sure when but was definitely here when he was 31. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Wendy,
This looks to be your family in the 1911 census. There were 8 children of which 5 were still alive at that time.

Robert was born 7th Jan 1907. He was a twin and his younger brother was named John.
John died 21.2.1908 of whooping cough.
William Webb married Elizabeth McCourt in 1888:

Thanks Elwyn! I did find the census information but thankyou for the other info. Bizarrely I married a McCourt!! The search broadens! Hopefully I can find some descendants by June.
Thanks again.
