anne crowley or possibly johanna little bray co wicklow

Yes 1901 Wexford, 1911 Wicklow.
Look at the hand writing on each, I don't think they were filled in by the same person.
Should be Matthew in each case but I'm not convinced plus the signature on 1901 doesn't seem to match the writing on the form.

If you check the 1901 census posted by Gaffy
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Kilkenny/Graiguenamanagh/Barrow_Lane/1453206

The place of birth for Ann Dunne is transcribed incorrectly should be Wexford per household form - I think this is the point Dathai is making.

Yes, apologies, I stand corrected. However, it would have been much easier of the link to the census image was posted in the first place.

Wow you lot are really quick off the mark.annie crowley lived with my grandparents for years before she died,my mother and her sibling (her grandchildren)all remember her telling them she was born in little bray .lt ls because of this i said she was born there. There is a mystery which i would love to solve,she spoke of being cut off from her family because of religion. A tale my grand dad passed on said that before she married a parcel arrived with a noose in it and a note saying if the wedding went ahead she was dead to her family.years later he said a letter came from america telling annie an aunt had left her some money. He pointed to the fire and said she ripped the letter up and threw it in the flames!either they all had very good imaginations or skeletons are rattling in closets.maybe thats why the variations on census forms.i would love to sort truth from fiction

having gone through every Crowley family for Counties Wicklow and Kilkenny on both 1901 and 1911 census's every single one is Roman Catholic with the exception of two servant girls.

What do you know about Matthew.
Looking at his jobs makes me think he might have been in the army, a service record would be great.
Could he have been CoI and changed religion to marry Anne but that wasn't enough for her family.

[dathai]

and the same applies to Wexford all Catholic both 1901 and 1911 with the exception of George Crowley age 80 with family at Tinnashrule,Kilboa ,Wexford in 1901 church of Ireland 1911 Church of England.
