Westmeath / 1911 Census Cullenboylegan/Moate Missing?
« on: Tuesday 17 December 13 00:13 GMT (UK)  »
Ive found someone in the 1901 census in the townland of Cullenboylegan in the DED of Moate and when I searched in the 1911 cenus I couldnt find them. Just to make sure I then went to check the rest of the people listed in the townland and couldnt find it. Does anyone know if the area was spelt wrongly in the 1901 census or if missing in the 1911?

I asked before about Coroners reports pre independance and was told that they were all burned in the Four Courts during the Civil War. They did say the best bet would be to check local newspapers which they have many.

This is the biggest brick wall. What would be the registration district for this parish? Thanks

Anthony,

Have you got the marriage cert? Robert Cowap married Anne Downes in the registration district of Naas in 1871, Volume 2, Page 959.

Also if you go to http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ and enter the two surnames youll find a few births and marriages in Dublin.

Ive got the marriage cert from the GRO and its definitely Roger mentioned as father. There is just a line where fathers occupation is. No other Rogers in the family that I know of. Maybe the Foy family might be the way to find more information.

Hello PM,

Thats is the entry alright. Its hard to make out the writing and not knowing any of the townlands around there doesnt help. I got the Tubber source from rootsireland.ie and the only info was birth/baptism 21 July 1838 and parents names Roger Briscoe & Catherine Foy. There are also records for siblings Anne born 1844 & James born 1847. John also had birth county as Westmeath in the 1901 census.

There are not many Briscoes in Ireland let alone midlands. I thought they would be the easiest to track down. There ares no death records in the GRO for Roger or Catherine. My grandfather born 1901 was the youngest and was 9 when his father died so he knew little about him.

Your information about the Sheriff of Westmeath is interesting. My grandfathers brother was Edward Joesph Briscoe. Maybe just a coincidence. With a name like Roger my thinking is that they may be English settlers.

Thanks.

Westmeath / Briscoe - Tubber & Rosemount
« on: Wednesday 12 October 11 21:32 BST (UK)  »
My great-grandfather was baptised in the parish of Tubber & Rosemount. He married in Dublin and the parish entry is now online. http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/reels/harrington-street_mf_1865-1912_ma_0196.pdf
Can anyone shed some light where his parents Roger Briscoe & Catherine Foy lived?

Thanks all. Would I be very much clutching at straws by saying he could have been on a reserve list or even volunteered again and was issued with a new number? Maybe I havent even got near the straw to clutch.

Hi Ady,

I couldnt find anything on FindMyPast. The only thing I could find with a possible match is a Medal Card Index serach for "Sydney C Sutton" in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the Labour Corps. His full name was Sydney Charles Sutton born in Mullingar. My thinking was that because I couldnt find anything on FindMyPast that maybe he carried on and served in WW1. He was my 2 x Great Grandfather's brother and only discovered about him not too long ago. No trace of him after the 1901 cenus in Dublin.
