Thomas McCarthy from Granard

Thomas:

I found the 1901 and 1911 census records for your family. In 1901, Robert and his son Robert were in the household. By 1911, Robert Sr. was deceased and Robert and his wife Mary were in the household. There is a wide gap of ages for Robert Jr.. Age was understated in 1901 and overstated in 1911 based on your 1865 birth. I also found the 1909 death index record for Robert Sr. If you want a copy of the record, you need to write to the GRO www.groireland.ie fill out their form and provide the info in the index record. Costs around 4 euros. I looked for a pre-1901 death index record for Rose but could not locate one. Maybe she had another name.

Roger,

Thanks for the quick reply and the information! I just received the death record for my Great-Grandfather and now that I know an approximate birth year I hope to find where he was born and possibly the name of his mother. Again, many thanks!
