Joseph Dexter died 1893-1911, but where?
« on: Saturday 16 March 13 23:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Joseph dexter was born in Fintra sometime aound the 1840s. He married Annie Hall in county clare in 1866, had some children, was a land agent and a JP in clare.
He was named in a list of JPs published in 1893.
His wife was a widow in 1911.
No reference to any dexters in the 1901 census as far as I can see.  Maybe they travelled somewhere?  I would be very grateful for any clues about where i might search for him.

I can find no widow Dexter in the 1911 Irish census. Can you please give more details so that we can help you.

She was in England, living with her son William Edgeworth Dexter, his wife and family in Ealing. William was not at home on the 1911 census date, seems to have travelled a bit, but he was still around.

Fintra is listed as "fathers birth place" on the familysearch birth index of the daughter born in 1875....

Even though the LDS database has a space in their extracted Irish births form for father's birthplace there is no such information given on the actual birth certificate. When a child is born somewhere other than the family residence the birth certificate lists the date and place of birth and also the father's name, occupation and usual residence. Instead, for some reason, the LDS form put the father's residence under father's birthplace which is incorrect.
