My eye caught your remarkre Monks?Monahan
On 13-6-1863 The Irish Times reported the bankruptcy of Christopher Monahan and John Monahan (Grocers) trading as J.Monaghan & Co. (note the G in Monaghan). Thoms gives the street No. as 3.
In my source work based on the Irish Times there are no entries for Monks/Monaghan at No.19 but the Police Court  Section on Page3 of the edition of 15-7-1887 shows that a Miss Margaret Monks was charged with disturbing a congregation.(no street no. given).
Some help or does the plot merely thicken?

Thomas Monks(B1876) an Iron Turner married Margaret Forde Clondalkin in 1899.Parents Patrick Monks (farmer) and mother Mary.Witness' at marriage were Richard Monks and Mary Forde.In 1901 census Thomas and Mary are living in Fox and Geese Clondalkin.

[JohnF1212]

Margaret was a Forde her mother remarried.James Hamilton was her Mothers second husband .The first Husband was John Forde.

As someone who has spent a lifetime asking people to add the "e" on to the end of his name, it's always nice to see some of the other Fordes out there!

- John Forde

Hello John Forde
Yes Forde with an E. Actually as I was tracing our family tree it was amazing the amount of times that the name was incorrectly spelt over the years?
Are your Family from Dublin ?any relation ? I wonder?

Ambyrne - I saw your post below from a while back and was wondering if you might also have any information/records on a James Moncks/Monk/Monks/Monck from Dublin (born ~1797-1801), who married an Elizabeth (born ~1810).  They had at least one child, Mary E. Moncks/Monk/Monks/Monck (born ~1824 in Dublin).  That's as far back as I can go on that family name.  Thank you in advance if you can help!! 

I have checked the voting registers of Dublin in the 1830's.

Richard Monks is listed as living in Old Kilmanham and as a Farmer.

There are a couple of other Monks also on the list.

Thomas
Denis
Joseph
Laurence
Patrick
William.

If you want any further info please give me a shout

In the 1851 census of Dublin there are also a few Richard Monks

Rich. Monk 34 Vicar St. St. Catherine's South
Rich. Monk 12 Engine Alley St. Catherine's South
Rich. Monks 15 Ship St. Great St. Bridget's South
Rich Monks 8 Clanbrassil St. St. Nicholas Without South

Ambryne - PS on James/Elizabeth Monks/Moncks/etc -- they emigrated to London, England on or before 1861 since they show up in the England census that year.  I do know James was a tailor as well.

Guys,

According to Slaters 1846 I have a James Monks living in Lower Bridge Street and is a Rev for the St Andoen's church.

Also James Monks living in 30 East Essex Street and 19, spirit dealer.

Also James Hortan Monks living in Terrace, Harolds  Cross, [Molesworth Street]. Looks like he is a M.D. in later Slathers (1870) so not your guy.

in the 1851 city census there are 4 James Monks
Jas. Monks 4 Irwin St., rear of St. James's South
Jas. Monks 28 Essex St. East St. Andrew's South
Jas. Monks 44 Britain St. Great St. Mary's North
Jas.  Monks 3 Granby Lane St. Mary's North

Thats all on James Monks so far.
