Please can anyone help me find information on my Gt Grandfather and his family - in Dundalk.
What I know is: 1 - He married Mary Jane Smitherman, in Tonbridge, Kent 1894. On their certificate he is a "labourer", age 25. Fathers name also Charles Osborne 2 - He died just 5 years later, still in Kent - 1899 - 2 months before my grandfathers birth. The ONLY suitable Charles Osborne I can find in any UK census is for 1891 was resident at a boarding house in Trinity Newington, London. It lists a Charles Osborne, age 21, labourer - born Dundalk Ireland. I'm optimistic this is the right man - anecdotal family history has always included an Irish connection; and myself, my father and Grandfather all have Patrick as a middle name - the only members of a 1600 strong family tree to do so! I have already had someone look in Dublin GRO records, but found no record of a Charles Osborne born between 1866 and 1872 anywhere in Ireland, unfortunately - so I'm at a dead end.
