KG, thanks. I'll have a look when I can travel to Kilkenny.
heywood, no residence. I have my relative's army records, marriage cert, birth certs of his two children, entry on 1911 census (aged 46) but no record after. His army records show 4 different ages!
He's alive in 1914 when declared 'medically unfit when trying to re-enlist.
There are a few birth certs which could be him (same father's name as on marriage cert) but can't identify.
Need his birth certificate to go back further. Hoping death cert would help.
I hope you don’t mind but going off what you say here, I might have identified him in 1911 - only a few 46 yr olds
The search looks fairly straightforward using his residence on his marriage and then searching the census for that townland.
There is a likely family there and records to match.
It looks then that your man can be tracked back.
It would seem that he was born before civil registration but there is a baptism.
Mind you, I could have the wrong man entirely but I am just trying to show that it seems possible from the available records.
