As at least two generations of the family served with the lighthouse service, I would think that contacting the Commissioners of Irish Lights might be a priority?

I am afraid this thread is just too long/confusing...

Thank you so much for all your efforts - such a sad ending and sounds like todays housing crisis in Ireland
Feel very sad today and hope I will get some better news and perhaps a reunion with some of my family - these things even if they are in the past effect you.

I found this link on myheritage.com dates are very close for John George Harrison but the children seem different:

It is very sad, you have to wonder about how the war affected the men.

I can't see that census on the link, but I think you should make your tree private.

Btw you have an error. John George married to Anne Stockdale, his father was George W not John W.
