I'm doing research into an individual who I know was working as a hotel waiter in Norwich in 1911 but I don't know which one. Drawing up a list of all hotels open in that period might make things easier.

Would there be anyway to find out what hotels were in business in Norwich in approx. 1911?

Completed Census Requests / Re: Completed thanks to ScRoppers

I'll have a look at the FREE INDEX - under these T's & C's.

What you can use the service for:

You can only use the website for your own personal non-commercial use, e.g., to research your own family history.

We are also happy for you to help out other people with their family history by telling them about records available on the website and how and where they can be found, including showing them anything within our free search results.

However, you must not provide them with copies of any of the records (either an original image of the record or the information on the results page), even if you provide them for free.


Unfortunately there are 2 Arthurs, neither show a middle name, one is c1894 and the other c1895.

But the FREE INDEX Search engine allows us to associate with others in the same household, so, choosing BEATRICE from the 1901 should help.

Indeed, it shows the same family as 1901 - ie the Arthur born c1894 is the one you need.

Thanks very much.

Dublin / Thoms Look Up - 160 Parnell Street
« on: Monday 10 January 11 22:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm looking for more information on the history of 160 Parnell Street. Who lived there, what the buildings was used for etc... throughout the 19th and 20th c.

I know its been the premises of a public house called The Shakespeare from at least the 1920s. It has now been renamed The Hop House but still has lots of the original signage/interior.

Thanks in advance.

If you're still looking, there's an interesting discussion on the Irish forum boards.ie about this:

Thanks. I started that particular thread!  :)

Cork / Daniel McGrath (c. 1861 - c. 1930) Looking for death certificate
« on: Friday 03 December 10 12:20 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find a death certificate for my great grandfather Daniel McGrath. I applied for one through the HSE website but they have got back to me today saying that have no matches. Can anyone offer any advice? I have to ring her back later. There's a charge of 12quid whether they find the certificate or not so I'd like to try my best to find it.


As far as I'm aware

Daniel McGrath was born c.1861 in or near Clonmel, Tipperary.
He was a railway stoker but was sacked after taking part in the 1913 transport workers' strike.
He moved to Cork and secured employment as a boiler stoker in the North Infirmary Hospital in Cork City.
Married Hannah Hayes (c. 1862 - c.1892). She died during the birth of their one and only son John McGrath.

Daniel McGrath then married Hannah O'Brien (c. 1865- c.1960). They had 5 children including my grandfather Cornelius K McGrath (1921 -2001). They family were based in Spring Lane, Blackpool, Cork.

Daniel McGrath, as far as I know died in Cork City, in c. 1930.

===

The only vaguely decent matches I've found on the Family Search site have been:

Dan McGrath (1859 - 1932). Died in Glenties, Donegal though.
Daniel Joseph McGrath (1862 - 1928). Died in Carlow though.
