I have a right fiddly one..

On 1911 census he is living in Heanor with wife and kids -

1911 they are living in Mill Rd Marlpool (which is near Heanor) Derbys -just thought I'd point that out so your records are correct. - I have family living on Mill Rd -  been there since before 1900

One child was b Marlpool - the other Langley -
 Marlpool is (kind of) just up the hill from Langley

That's great news isn't it. We knew people called Scahill which was pronounced in a similar fashion - or Sca- hill.

good luck  :)

In Irish pronunciation, isn't the "h" silent (kind of?!).
Many years ago I worked with someone called Mahoney - pronounced Mah-uh-knee.
Or at least it sounded like that to my English ears! ;D
