thank you so much,my wifes family all thank you,we have found out so much with your help,they have looked so hard but never using a pc,but they never nknew he was at an industrial school,thank you so much

thanks aghadowey,i did see that on the 1911 census,but saying city of dublin is like saying london,it doesn,t help much,during the conversation yesterday,my wifes aunt did say that,they were both being brought up by an aunt,in north dublin,but this is the good bit,the aunt was elizabeth smith,there must be hundreds of smiths,but i would think that north dublin area will be the place to look at,but one other snip i have found is a chance of baptismal record for 1899 in the haymarket#st pauls area or arran quay ward dublin city,but as i don,t know the city,i can,t tell where these places are,i need a bit of local knowledge,i think,thanks to all trying to help,i am sure we will find out one day

hello,my wifes grand father patrick michael finn,born 1899,was an orphan,he appears in the 1911 census at artaine south industrial school aged 12,we are unsure of his place of birth,in fact he could have been born anywhere in ireland and sent to dublin.does anyone have any ideas where the records are for the industrial school,this one was run i think by the christian brothers.this may give us information as to where to look as his place of birth,after he left the school,he went to kenagh in longford and became a tailor,any help please,he also had a sister esther,younger than him
