Gaskin family of Dublin

[TonyV]

I am helping a friend research this family from Dublin. Charles Augustus Gaskin was born in Dublin in 1910. His father was also Charles and married to Norma Long. Some or all of the family emigrated to England where Charles the younger met and married an English woman. If anyone can throw any light on the family in Ireland I'd love to hear from you. Incidentally the family was shown living in Lower Erne St. in the 1911 census.

Here's the family on the 1911 census for reference :

   Gaskin/Long household - Lwr Erne Street
   
All born Dublin City, and Charles snr & Norah are married 6 years, so c1905.
probable birth references for Charles jnr age 11 months :

  Name: Charles Gaskin
  Registration district:   Dublin South
  Event type: Birth
  Quarter and year: Apr - Jun 1910
  Volume :   2 / Page: 742

and marriage for Charles snr :

  Name: Charles Gaskin
  Rregistration district: Dublin North
  Event type: Marriage
  Quarter and year: Jul - Sep 1905
  Volume : 2 / Page:   532

There's a cross-match to a Norah Long

see : Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon
        Details included on a Birth Cert
        Details included on a Marriage Cert

possible matches for Norah and Charles on the 1901 returns - unfortunately neither with parents or siblings... :

   Murray/Long household, Queen's Square

   Bury/Byrne/Gaskin household, Innisfallen Parade

Thanks Shane for such a quick reply. I had the 1911 reference from the brilliant Irish site but not the marriage (great article on tenements in Dublin such as those in Erne St). May I ask which site the marriage reference is from (or is it your own transcription)?

cheers

Civil BMD references are from the Irish BMD Index on FamilySearch - see :
 
   Introduction to Irish Records
 
Posting a link to the census return helps people see the full details on the forms without having to search again. e.g.  years married, places of birth, occupations etc, which help the search.

possible baptism for Norah on the Irish Genealogy website - civil marriage cert mentioned above would show father's name, occupation etc and may be able to confirm this,  or rule it out...

   Baptism of Hanora Long, 1882
   St. Andrew's RC Parish, Dublin City
   Parents : Jerimiah Long & Mary Jane Byrne

and a corresponding possible civil record from the BMD Index - these give some additional information compared to parish records - e.g. father's occupation.

  Name: Nora Long
  Registration district:   Dublin South
  Event type: Birth
  Quarter and year: Oct - Dec 1882
  Volume: 2 / page: 686

likely baptism for Charles - also from www.irishgenealogy.ie

   Baptism of Charles Agustin Gaskin - 1879
   St. Andrew's RC Parish, Dublin City
   Address : 45 Queens Street
   Parents : Charles Gaskin & Margeret Kilfoy

the street the Gaskin family are living on is the same as the one as Norah is living in 1901.

i also wondered whether Charles Agustin Gaskin was the same man. The 1911 census gave his calculated birth year as 1877 whereas the baptism is 1879. Both could be correct of course and I also know that census ages are often wrong for various reasons. I see that there were other Gaskin baptisms from the same address, presumably siblings.

Thank you again for spending time on this. It is appreciated.

cheers

I believe that the record for Charles is correct as the following baptisms are on the Irish Genealogy site
Siblings of Charles
parents Charles GASKIN and Margaret Guillfoyle/Gillfoyle/Gilfoy/Kilfoy

Mary Lucinda 1873
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/7a06c20250357
possible death in 1875 Dublin South Volume 17 Page 582

Ellen 1875
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/9318db0252857
possible marriage in 1901 Jul-Sep Dublin South Volume 2 Page 696 but I cannot see her on the 1901 census

Lucinda 1876
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/919dd30254154
* see below

Charles 1877
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/772df90257868

Cornelius John 1880
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/7c2d4f0258961
died 1882 Dublin South Apr-Jun Volume 2 Page 617

Then there is the marriage of Lucy GASKIN to William BURY which links Charles with 1901 census return given by Shane!

note William's father's name BYKER! I thought that was great

Hi Tonyv

Just a few more bits to add to the super finds of Shane and 'myluck'

The Gaskin's seemed to have lived at 45 Queen's Square for a while so I did a search under the address

Some of the witness' on these baptisms are Gaskin's - so with a fairly rare surname and a match on the address, it's most likely theses Gaskin's were closely related
