John Phelan, DMP 8648, born 1856, Raheen, Queen's County, died 1911

In need of some help please
How can i find out more info, not sure if this is my John phelan, but it is the most likely match. I have him on the 1911 census age 49 yrs old. I cant find a birth record match, I have a 1903 marriage cert for his son and  it states his profession as labourer so he must have joined after this. His address remains the same from 1903-1911.

If he was 49 in 1911 he would have been born c1862 and registration of births didn't start until 1864 so there will be no birth certificate. For pre-1864 dates you need to search for church records (if the records still exist).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Have you located his marriage ?  Based on the place of birth of his children and wife I'd say Co. Dublin (or City) is the most likely location, and there's a few possible matches on the Civil Index..

I dont think any Co. Offaly parish records are available on Line at the moment - but believe the IFHF are planning to add some this year. The alternative is searching the microfilms in the National Library. Do you know which parish he was born in ?

might be an idea trying for a birth cert for one of his children - that would give you Bridget's maiden name, which would help locating the correct marriage cert. There's only one good match for Matthew's birth :

 Name: Matthew Phelan
 Registration district: Dublin North
 Record type: Marriage
 quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1889
 Volume: 2 / Page: 420

edit - I've seen the census return for him.. he's the only John Phelan DMP officer
