Hi Everyone,
I need help getting a foothold in Waterford City but so far online records have not helped.
I am looking for a George Joseph Bishop (D. 1938). I have a newspaper from the time of his death and from there I can glean that he was buried at 'the family burial place' at Ballybricken Cemetery. He had a seat on the Waterford Board of Guardians and was an early representative of Sinn Fein and was a part of the Davis Literary and Debating Society (Davis L& D Soc Premises: - 112 The Quay in 1905).
His wife was Bridget Dardis. He had a son, also George Joseph in Wexford 16 Aug 1913. The only other thing I know is that he worked as a confectioner. There is a Walter Bishop - Confectioner, in the business listings but I have been unable to find a link between the two.
Many thanks for any help you can give!
