I wonder if some kind person could find my Grandfather Robert Henry GORDON (B. 1853 cc) at the time of the 1901 census in Monaghan. On the 25th December that year he married a Margaret LEMON at the Civil Registrar's Office in Clones. Robert Henry's parents were John GORDON and Jane HARBISON and his siblings were Joe, William James, Maggie, Jane and Tillie Ann GORDON. Census results for the whole family would be much appreciated.

Going through old posts and found this one - have you already found the information on this family that you were looking for earlier? Since then lots of Irish resources have come online.
Robert Gordon's listed in 1911 census-

You can also search the 1901 census on the same site. In 1911 Robert's listed as a farmer but may have been a labourer in 1901- marriage certificate should give you his occupation as well as residence.
