MacGillicuddy

This looks very likely in 1871 for Arthur. He is transcribed as ‘McGilliarddy’ on one site but the page reads McGillicuddy

1871/ 672 /62/ 31
Radnor Terrace, Lambeth
Arthur McGillicuddy boarder 24 yrs General Clerk b Dublin

I would say that the reference to the 1851 census return is a search document rather than evidence that the family were recorded in 1851.

That is interesting, I now know Arthur John was in Dublin before moving to England plus where he was in 1871 although I notice his birth dates seem to vary between 1847 and 1851.
Does anyone know if 'Gentleman' shown as a deceased persons profession actually means what it says or is it a term used to cover many things.
I will keep searching for for his parents and siblings, I honestly thought with names such as Alexandrina, Rosina and Achille MacGillicuddy they would be an easy find but obviosly not.
Thank you all once again for your help, much appreciated!

Hi,
I am trying to find out any information about my gt.gt grandparents, John and Alexandrina MacGillicud dy, last known address Sackville Place, Dublin c1850. My gt grandfather moved to Middlesex and married a local girl, he tried to trace his parents and siblings Rosina, Emilly and Achilles but no luck.
If anyone could help or point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

When you say he tried to trace his family, is that family knowledge, or do you mean the pension search?

As you say, they are fairly distinctive names but no sign.
I have tried to search Dublin directories with not much luck.

As far as I am aware he was trying to trace his family, nothing was ever mentioned about his parents and siblings. I wondered if they moved abroad as he moved to England, surely if they were also in England there would be some sort of paper trail. They are distinctive names so too are the names of Arthur Johns children, my grandfather was Julius Arthur and two of his siblings were named after Arthur Johns siblings, Rosina and Emily, sadly both died in their first year.

That form though, I think, was relevant to Arthur’s application for a pension and was trying to prove his birth details rather than trying to trace his relatives.
As you say, all seems to be relevant as he uses those names for his children.
It is puzzling and frustrating.
