Hi Brendan, you are in luck. There are a few of us that have been on the same journey you wish to embark.
I have a tree that says in the bottom right corner "Corrections and additions will be gladly received by
JAMES DIXON, 19 Sallymount Avenue, Ranelagh, Dublin". It was posted to me my mother's cousin who lives in the USA. I live in Australia. I assume the tree is from the 1940s or even earlier given my grandmother is on it but her husband and children are not. Same for her brother.
Below are George and Jane's children
George Mitchell Yeates (baptised 5 Nov 1796 St Mary's, Dublin - died 8 Nov 1862 or 1882)
Married 11 April 1819 St Peter's, Dublin
Jane Sparks (born c1795/1800 - died 31 July 1837 Dublin probably)
I can't confirm either George or Jane's deaths. I've had no luck getting access to my local Mormon Church to order the microfilm for Mt Jerome Cemetery, Harold's Cross, Dublin. It's always locked up like a fortress. Their phone number isn't even in the phone book.
George Mitchell Yeates and Jane Sparks had the following children:
i. ANNA MARIA2 YEATES was born on 18 May 1820 in Dublin, Ireland. She died on 01 Apr 1821.
ii. MARY ELLEN YEATES was born on 19 Feb 1822 in Dublin, Ireland. She died on 29 Mar 1897.
Notes for Mary Ellen Yeates:
possibly if known as Ellen Yeates may have married William Richard Hamilton an MD of Co Sligo. His father was also William. Ellen's father was George and she resided at 89 Ranelagh Road at the time her marriage 10 Sept 1857 at St Peters. William Richard Hamilton was a widower. Certificate is on website

My link is Horatio Yeates so I have comprehensive info on his descendants. I know he and his children wrote many letters and visited after their move to England and later Australia. I guess that is how I ended up with one of James Dixon's tree.
