Thank you.  I will be going over everything I have saved in the last 6 months.  I feel like we have some hope.! !
 Our goal is to get the Cummins, Cunnings back to Ireland.  We will be in Ireland in September and are hoping to be able to connect in some manner.
We are like the commerical.  We book a trip to Ireland and find out our family is from England.  We have switvhed gears so many times my head is spinning.
Thank you for all you do!

BillyC:

Don't be misled by CUNNINGS.  It is probably a transcription error by an indexer trying to read old handwriting.  Ideally, you should look at the census images, which can be found online.

Good luck on your quest in Ireland.  I know from my own experience that researching Irish ancestors is not easy.

Thanks again for all your help.  We will keep trying and if we don't find it  this year, maybe in the future. 
You have really helped with the Cunnings aspect.  We thought these people fell off the face of the earth.
