Hi Richard,As I am leaving tomorrow for Ireland I decided to print out the census forms to show my father.did you notice that your grandfather had:
james
annie
john j
alexander d
cornelius m (my grandfather)
Margareth M
kathleen - who appears in the 1901 census but not the 1911 - she does not have an age after her birth, she must have died.
Nora.
Also I noticed that James P. while he appears on the 1901 census is missing for the 1911 census.When I traced him I found him living with the Carpenter family Ellen and Joseph in tullamore, co. dublin, and when asked to state relation to head he has put down 'step son' - why would that have been?
the plot thickens. we know, in any case, my great grandfather, your grandfather had a LOT of children.I know nothing about them. It should be interesting to ask my father, see if he knows he had so many aunts and uncles.Will get back to you next week.Best regards,Eileen McGiff (Blaauw)
