Hi my great grandfather, James O'Neill born in Athy Kildare.  His relative Joe O'Neill had a Big Band - Stardust Orchestra.  Has anyone got any info.

I have Census 1901 of a James O'Neill living in Offaly Street, 1911, 14 RathStewart, but I am not sure if this is for the James O'Neill I am looking for in 1901 he would of been around 6/7/8 and there is a James O'Neill Age 5.  And his twin Guertrude

    About when was your great-grandfather born?  Any info on his parents, children, spouse? When was he married and where? When did he died? Did he emigrate?

  • Hi Patricia, James Joseph O'Neill, 1894 B. Killcullen, Killdare-1938 D. Rosslare Harbour

    I am just unsure if the census I have found for his family in Kildare is correct, he is one of a twin in the census, and I can't remember my grandfather ever mentioning a twin, I'll keep looking anyway
