Hi Brad
I notice you have Carroll of Avoca mentioned in your post - I am a Carroll and my gggrandfather was Patrick Carroll of Avoca. Patrick was married to a Francis Byrne (Fanny) I don't know much about Patrick and Fanny only that they had children called Sara, Michael, Anne and Sally (twins) Sally died and another child born later also called Sally. Wonder if your Carrolls are connected to mine, Avoca is only a small town.

Hi....I dont know if this will help but I have the following from the 1911 Census.
Living in House Number 12 in Cronebane, Avoca, Wicklow are:
Mary Carroll...widow...aged 66
Her son Patrick...single...aged 30
Her son Michael...single...aged 28
and her son John...single...aged 26
It states that there were 5 children all living at that point.
I hope this may be of some small help to you.

Hello canberragirl:
I saw the names coates and byrne on your post; my g-grandfather was a John Coates married to a Mary Byrne living in Knockananna, County Wicklow. Any connection with your family tree?
