My great grandfather was born in Carrick on Suir abt 1843, but appears on the 1851 England census at St Martin's Workhouse in London. He was admitted and discharged with other Hassetts:
George Hassett born abt 1813 in Clonmel, a boot and shoe maker; Eliza Hassett born abt 1813 in Kilkenny, a shoe binder; Eliza Ellen Hassett born abt 1848 in Clonmel and George Hassett born abt 1850 in Clonmel.
Thomas Hassett settled in England and later married, but on his marriage certificate, his father is listed as John Hassett, occupation carpenter. I surmise that perhaps his own family died and he emigrated with perhaps an uncle and his family?
I recently visited Ireland for the first time and passed through Carrick on Suir :-)
