Title: Thomas Crehan's lodgers, Leigh & Galway
Post by: schooly on Monday 25 August 14 16:01 BST (UK)

In 1911 census at 14 Thomas St Leigh are:
Thomas Crehan (32) born Galway and his wife Emma (31).

There are also 2 boarders:
John Kennedy (22) and Thomas Hynes (24) both born Galway

John Kennedy may be my grandfather who was killed in the First World War.

Can anyone shed any light on Thomas Hynes maybe from a family tree?

I am particularly interested in where Thomas Hynes was born in Galway? It is even possible that John Kennedy and Thomas Hynes are cousins from the same area of Galway but that is clutching at straws.

The Irish census for 1901 is available online http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/)
there are a few 13yr old Thomas Hynes and one of them may be yours.
