Could be a possibility or perhaps in hospital??

Could be a possibility or perhaps in hospital??

exactly - workhouses, prisons etc also used initial. I think away from home working might be more likely. Maybe he tied up the horse somewhere and setup something to sleep under the cart ?

There are a small number or King's County born Woods in 1911, but no sign of a Patrick anywhere..

....My grandmother was Elizabeth Gurrr nee Cullen a widow,actually twice widowed born in 1875 and her son James Darragh aged about 11,they lived in the North Dock area of Dublin at various addresses.These people were on the 1901 census but do not appear on the 1911 one.....

I see some Gurrys in 1901, but no Gurrs......what address is your Elizabeth at ?

In 1901my grandmother was a Darragh living in Seville Place North Dock,after the death of her husband she married a William Gurr in 1906 and he died in 1910..Last address on marraige cert was Shamrock Terrace

[shanew147]

this household ?

  Darragh Household, Sevillve Place Cottages
 
so she could be listed in 1911 as Gurrr, Darragh or Cullen...

I think James might be the one to search for - Did Elizabeth marry again after the death of William ?

[paulbduffy]

Thats the household,she  married my grandfather in 1913 so yeshe could be a Darragh Gurr or Cullen,

[shanew147]

wonder would the death or burial for William give a clue ... maybe another address ?

[shanew147]

according to the BMD Index he died Dublin South - so other side of the city...

[shanew147]

he's buried in Glasnevin... it's not always possible, but I'll see if I can figure out any part of the address...  (it's like playing hangman, you have to guess letters a couple at a time)

[shanew147]

his address includes the following letters :

  b,d,e,f,i,l,n,o,r,s,t,u and y

so there's no a,c,g,h,j,k,m,p,q,v or z

unsurprisingly one of the words in the address is street.

I think the u and the y might help - dont think they would be common in street names..

(p.s. there may be more than one of each of the letters)
