        Sorry that was not very clear. This was written on the census under birthplace by John Elder. I know he was born in Ireland but I just didnt understand the Linwoody part
        Thank you

          I'm not an expert on Irish geography, unfortunately...

          Have you tried looking it up http://maps.google.com/ for example??

            I wonder if it's the name of the property, although nothing coming up on Google??

                Is this the UK or Irish census where talking about? When was your John Elder born and who were his parents?

                    Thank you Olga I will look at that
                    The census in question is the English 1911 one
                    John Elder was born about 1870. I cannot find him before 1901 when he was a sergeant in the Royal Artillery in Plymouth, so I do not know his parents

                      There does seem to be some kind of Lynwood connection in Londonderry. Googling Linwoody, Londonderry on the Maps page produces a Lynwood Business Centre, and a Lynwood Homes Ltd, on Main Street Eglinton. Couldn't find much else on spec though.

                          HI Golden Oldie

                          You could always obtain the marriage cert from 1903 Southwark to see if he names his father.
