ON  one of the 1911 census it has this down as a place in Monaghan it looks like LE CLAISA  but I've seached the place names and can't find anywhere that matches

Hello,

Could it be Lecklevera?  I think it is a strong possibility.

thanks for the list there's a awfull lot of places that it could be

I agree with Heywood, next you need to cross reference the name with the townland which we don't know.

Good luck,

Why don't you check for that surname in Monaghan on census? If he/she is a resident of there why not look for kin?

[scrapper]

is there a census for Monaghan ? I thought they were all distroyed

surname is Green  and the whole family came over to the UK sometime in the 1850-60s last child I have was born 1845 in Ireland  they would have been baptised in Ireland in the RC church  No more children born after that  or if there were any they might have died as they aren't on any census.
The 1911 has been the only census that 2 of the children have given a place in Ireland all the others just say Ireland
