Welcome to rootschat dono.

You say you have found Agnes in the 1891 census, and you know her parent's names. But you also say you can't find her ...  :-\

What exactly do you want to find out about Agnes? Are you looking for her in all the censuses? Her birth? Marriage? Death ... or anything else?  :)

Have you thought of investing a few pounds by buying a copy  of her birth certificate  and marriage cert of her parents?

Have you searched the deaths for her?  She may have died young as a child, possibly?

Be patient, chaps:  Agnes's surname was under DONNOVAN in the indices - this sort of thing is easily missed.

I can't find a marriage that fits for Augustine, though.

He was 30 Cati. Unusual name. He was born in Dublin. Catherine was also 30, born Liverpool. Agnes is 3 and the oldest child living with them.
I can't see an obvious marriage for Augustin and Catherine. I wonder if they married in Ireland?  :-\

Hmm, possible then that Augustine was his first name and that he used his middle name (or vice versa) - I speak from experience as this has happened in my Irish line...
