Hi,

Did you look at the census for 1901.  There are two entries for Sexton Bishopstown.

1 Cornelius age 30 labourer, wife Margaret age 30 . son Timothy age 7, James aged 4,& Ellen 0, They lived at house no 14 Ballinaspigbeg, Bishopstown.

2  Timothy Sexton servant, Huggarsland, Bishopstown.

Both Ballinaspigbeg and Huggardsland ( correct spelling) are close to each other.

As Agho said Bishopstown is now a built up suburb of Cork City although in  1899 it would have been a very rural area.

Thanks Agho. I did contact the archivist at Cork archives some days ago and waiting for a reply.

Good thinking Mary. That could well be him but it starts to look like this Timothy Sexton is not my man. I am having great difficulty finding either a birth or death record, but have all details in between, i.e his marriage, the birth of 6 children.
The birth would be in parish registers and there is no obvious candidate. I have ordered most possible death certs hoping to get his age of birth, but so far without success. Will keep trying.

I would have thought Cornelius and Timothy would more than likely be his sons if
he died in 1899 and these lads are on the  1901 census two years later.  Also the fact that the christian name Timothy is common to all.

Yes but it is the wrong Timothy. My Timothy had 6 children

Catherine, Julia, Johanna, Patrick, Daniel,and Cornelius.
Julia was my grandmother. Johanna died at a young age and all the others emmigrated to New York City. I have all these records.

I just cannot find the birth or death of my Tiimothy Sexton b in Lislevane. He married Ellen Donovan in 1862.
