Hi Bob just a note in relation to the above as it can be quite confusing. The original house No 46 was his Gaughan grandfathers house. When his mother moved to the states he was taken in by relatives in this second house no 33.

Hi Bob. Here are the census entries for the area. you can see in the 1901 census a 3 year old Denis Bingham child   living in the Gaughan household. In the later census he is entered as a 14 year old Denis Gaughan.  My mother (his daughter) told me that he decided to change it back himself. You can see that it is the Same household. Hope this is of some assistance. we went down some years ago and met with a next door neighbor of my family who would have been alive when he was a child. she confirmed the story and told us that there were more than one illegitimate child in the area linked to the Bingham family.
My great grand mother left my grandfather behind and went to live in New York. My mother met her as a young child when she went to live there in the 1920's. The family stayed in New York for a number of years but eventual came back to live in Dublin.

Hi Everyone. Very Interested to see this photo.
My grandmother worked in the house in Doolough Lodge at Geesala as a maid around 1900 or so. Story is that she became pregnant by Arthur's son Dennis. My grandfathers birth was registered as Dennis Bingham. He later changed it to the family name of Gaughan.
The account is verifiable as the census in 1901 shows a Dennis Bingham infant being raised in my Gaughan families household in Geesala,  later in the next census he has changed his name to Dennis Gaughan. so it seems there might be more than one illegitimate child belonging to Arthur's son Dennis.
Dennis Bingham went on to live in Scotland and New York, USA. before returning to Dublin Ireland. Where we live now.
