Chrissyz2005,  thanks for your information and assistance.  I have sent you a personal message on this forum with a request for additional details to determine if we are talking about the same person.

Martin, thanks for the links.  I think I'll try to pin down my grandfathers full date of birth first.  My uncle showed my grandfather's date of birth as Sept. 22, 1865 on the death certificate but I am not sure of the accuracy given the marriage document showed him as 30 years old in 1900.  I really appreciate your help in pointing me in the right direction. 
Regards
Mike Cleary

Martin, it may or may not be that the James and Mary Cleary on King St. are related to my grandfather (William Francis Cleary).  There is nobody left on the Cleary side of my family who can fill in any of the blanks as far as my ancestors are concerned.  I hope to find some concrete info on William's side of the family in the near future but the date of birth inconsistency is a real problem. If he was born in 1870 (as shown on the marriage document), James and Mary Cleary may be his parents but if he was born in 1865 obviously not.

Regards

Hello, I am new to this website and hope to trace back one of my Irish ancestors. My grandfather,  William Francis Cleary came from Clonmel. I don't know when he emigrated from Ireland but he married my grandmother in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1900. His date of birth is uncertain but in the marriage document he gave his age as 30 in 1900. In this same document, he gave his mother's and father's names as Mary and James respectively.  In another document, his date of birth is listed as Sept. 22, 1865 so I'm not sure what to believe.
In his thread, Shanew147 shows a link to census records from 1901. When I go to the link, at the top of the page is shows 1901/1911 census. I see an entry for James and Mary Cleary but I need help in confirming that the data on James and Mary reflects their ages as of 1901. If it is in fact 1901 data, then James and Mary may be a relative. By the way, I don't know if my grandfather had any siblings.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give me in this matter.
Regards
Mike Cleary
