What happened to Mark Wyse for 28 years?

I am assuming that we want him in 1880/1 and 1890/1 censuses, as either Michael or Mark, and possibly varying in age from births between 1851 to 1861.

No occupation on 1870, mason at marriage, but then farmer for next 3 censuses, so could be doing anything.

Just to summarise, I hope approximately correct.

Perfectly summarised, thank you!

In the 1861 census he is RC, all his younger siblings are C of E, surname as Wise

Were the younger siblings of both sexes? A compromise of mixed marriage couples in Ireland was for sons to follow father's denomination and daughters their mother's. It might depend on availability of clergymen.

When I looked at the census I wondered if that had happened, but, from memory, no.
