Could you please post the link to Michael on the 1911 census. I cant find him.
-
michael isnt on the 1911 cencus only his father and 2 younger brothershis mother is to have died michael isnt in the cencus he must have joined the army be fore 1911 and gone away with them
-
You must have found him on some 1911 census since your 1st posts say "on the 1911 form he states he is from mayo."
-
his father patrick is on the 1911 form and i said on my first post that patrick was from mayo and on the 1901 form he says he was from westmeath michael would have been 25 r 6 in 1911 he would have benn maried i know he married margaret dunne i just cant find any certs here so they must be some where else his mothe anne had passed away beetwen the 10 yrs of the 2 cencuses and his father had to bring up 2 young boys bernard 10 r so and john 13 r there abouts

To save others from searching, here's Patrick Dunne in 1911 census- since he was a lodger the head of household could have give incorrect information on the census form-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Westmeath/Mullingar_North_Urban/Barrack_Street/885592
Here's the family in 1901 census- neither Patrick nor his wife are able to read so the form was filled out for them-

Yes, I understand you are trying to trace Michael's wife and child but it helps to post details already known to save others from searching for clues when trying to help you.
During World War I it was common for local newspapers to publish details of serving soldiers ('Mrs. Smyth has heard from her son Thomas serving with the 1st Bn..., etc.) and deaths of those soldiers (sometimes with a photograph) but you'd probably need to check the Mullingar papers.

I can find two possible matches in the Mullingar Registration District for Michael's marriage.
A Michael Dunne married 2nd Quarter 1908 Volume3/P234
A Margaret Geraghty has same volume and page number
A Michael Dunne married 3rd Quarter 1912 V3/P213
A Margaret Hamilton same volume and page
