and it's just statistics, as far as I can see, not the Censuses.
Though statistics can be very interesting to see how (for example) a townland has changed over the decades

Absolutely right  :)

googling the name'' Ginny'' suggests that it's a pet name for Virginia.
Viriginia would have been a fairly rare name for an Irish girl at the time but I have seen Ginny as a nickname for Agnes.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi
I have also seen the name "Ginny" been given to family members who were named Jane and Georgina.

Hi
One thing thats confusing me is who were the parents of the grandchildren named on the 1911 census.Because of where they lived and give their birthplace as County Dublin the birth for one of the children is possibly as follows
Births Rathdown 1903
Jul/Sept 1903

That record should have been
Births Rathdown Jul/Sept 1903
Peter Murphy
Volume 2
Page 801

Still can't find the Duffys on either census yet

yes that sounds like the cottages .just some more news from Dublin
it seems Michael Murphy and his brother Patrick Murphy both worked behind a bar called Davey & Phelan Public House, near Westmoreland Street, And Next door to the Pub were these Cottages which Mary Ann Duffy lived in.so they tell me.hoping this will help.

Hi
No Gulistan Cottages listed on the 1901 census.Unfortunately no Duffy families listed on the 1911 census living there.
