Title: Bagwell Estate, Marlfield,Clonmel
Post by: TLB on Tuesday 31 August 10 10:38 BST (UK)

Does anyone know where in the 2001/2011 census  Marlfield appears. I am trying to locate my grandfathers parents whom I beleive were estate workers

There's a townland named Marlfield in the Inishlounaght Electoral District :

 Marlfield - 1911 (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Inishlounaght/Marlfield/)

 Marlfield - 1901 (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Inishlounaght/Marlfield/)

By the way if you are interested you will find a picture of the estate your great grandparents worked on here: http://www.padraigharrington.com/the_marlbrook.php

There were plans to rename it from Marlfield House to Marlbrook and turn it into a golf course but the economic collapse has put all that on hold (apparently there is already a Marlfield golf course somewhere hence the name change).

Thanks Colmflynn. In my younger years I visited Marlfield quite often with my parents so I remember it quite well. Not having been home to Clonmel for many years I am hoping to go back and do a lot more research into my family as I have turned up some very interesting facts but I am told by relatives that a lot of the local records no longer exist.
