Maryborough Prison??

Kiltaglassen,

Bingo! Great job on Henry.

Also, I just put together the pieces on what you found about John. Really interesting. Apparently he moved to Co Galway by 1901 to work and then married there in 1902. In 1911, his wife, Matilda, and his 3 kids are living with her brother. Although the document lists her status as "married," where is John?

Kiltaglassen,

Sorry. Somehow missed your entry about an Ellen Bolger and just now saw it. IF I'm putting the pieces together right, looks like that Ellen's father was "John" rather than "William."

Father William is a Carpenter which is the same occupation of the Sarah Jane born in Johnstown.

Kiltaglass and Sinann,

You're both great sleuths!

Sarah Jane's place of birth (9 Sept 1875) in Johnstown, Co Kildare, is the same as Henry Charles' place of birth. Henry Charles father's occupation is Clerk of Works while Sarah Jane's father's occupation is Carpenter. Looks like Alicia (Alice Maud), Henry Charles, Sarah Jane (Helena?) and all the others we've identified are all in the same family. William's occupation is sometimes listed as carpenter and sometimes listed as clerk of works.

It is still a little confusing to me why her immigration record says she was born in Dublin about 1880. (Says she was 28 years old in 1908.)

Looks like the family moved from Dublin to Johnstown sometime between 1872 and 1875. Not sure when they moved to Maryborough, but they were there (without Sarah) in 1901. William died in Rathmines / Dublin in 1908 and Elizabeth was in Dublin in 1911.

You're right, Kiltaglassen! 

[Kiltaglassan]

William's occupation is sometimes listed as carpenter and sometimes listed as clerk of works.

It would be a natural progression for a house carpenter to be elevated to the position of clerk of works. A promotion for him!

Just adding the new finds.

Time for a tidy up to make it all easier to see.
William Boulger married Elizabeth Byrne 1857

Children so far
William 1857
Edward Joseph 1859 (assuming Edmund is the same person) married Frances Harvey 1888
Maria Georgina 1861 Married Richard Tyndall 1882, has more than one marriage.
Alice 1864 married Edward Thompson 1897
Mary Harriett 1867 married James Reid 1903
Elizabeth 1868
John 1872 Married Matilda Roe 1902
Sarah 1875 married WJ Smith 1908
Henry Charles 1878

That could be all the children, no major gaps there, still it's only 9, you'd expect 10 or 11

William the father died 1908
Mother Elizabeth still alive in 1911.

Is that everything so far?

Sinann & Kiltaglassan

I think that is everything so far. I've been trying to find info about Elizabeth after 1911 to add to this list, especially her death date, but haven't been able to verify any leads.

Until I do, thanks again for all your incredible help!

[Sinann]

I was trying to find Elizabeth as well, there is a marriage to a Joseph Boothe, if I remember his name correctly but there is no occupation for the father so difficult to know if it's her.
It wouldn't surprise me if she, like her siblings, has changed her name, she may have a second name we don't know about and is using that.

I also tried the newspapers again for William as a carpenter but no joy.
