Alban Joseph GERRITY/GERITY shows up on 1911 Census, as a Master Mariner, with a domestic servant, Mary SAWYER and a boarder,Trixie. The Census indicates that Alban is married, however his wife is not indicated on the Census. Have not been able to find Alban on 1881 or 1981 so he may have been at sea or show up as Joseph.
Also trying to determine if there is a family relationship between GERRITY, SAWYER, and BUCKLEY. Story has it that Mary and Trixie lived with family relatives as servants.
Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you, Isabel
Any luck finding him in 1891, or 1901? Sorry, I had mistyped the years. Those are the ones that have me stumped. I do have him in 1911 in Fishguard.
I haven't been able to find him on the marriage index. I am curious if his wife might be related to Mary (Buckley) Sawyer somehow. II did find him on the birth index: born Apr–Jun, Bridgewater, Somerset.
When Trixie lived with the relatives, we seem to recall it was an uncle and his family, not sure if it was her uncle or Mary's uncle.

Alban may have gone to Australia in 1912, worked as first mate, then chief officer out of New South Wales. GERITY is quite common, there's also another Alban GERITY...
Not sure about wife. BMD entry for Joseph GERITY, Salford Jul–Sep 8d 189, 1888 shows two grooms, but only one bride so not sure which fellow she married....
1936 Australia Electoral Rolls show two Kathleens (Kathleen Jean, Kathleen Isabel), no indication of ages or relationship. I am guessing Kathleen Jean is his wife but no proof of that.
Can anyone see something that I can't?
