William King
« on: Sunday 03 August 14 18:19 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on my great grandfather William King believed to have been born about 1861, lived in the area of Buolick, died Dec 1933.  I think he was married to an Ellen Gratton but have been unable to find any information on this, I know he had a son Daniel born in 1892.  Would like to try and find his parents and proof of his marriage.
Thanks

This looks to be him and family but his wife is Hannah but he does have a daughter Ellen

Do you think it's the correct family?

Everyone ageing a bit slowly but think it's the same family http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Buolick/Gortnahoe/833889/

I can't find a birth for Daniel in 1892
There is this one in 1890 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FBDF-M24
Which is the correct district for Buolick and on RootsIreland there is a Danial King born in Tipperary with a father William that year but Ellen Hannah or Johanna are not giving a result.
You would need to find Daniel's birth to get his mothers name and that hopefully his parents marriage.

It's too late now to search more.

Regarding the couple in the 1901 and 1911 census records, using the search index on the RootsIreland website (both for their marriage and the childrens' births/baptisms) indicates them to be William King (father also William) and Johanna Corcoran (father Michael), who got married in 1894 (registered at Kilcooley within Urlingford), here they are in FamilySearch:

Thanks for info, what I found confusing was about 4 years ago on the family search website I found a listing for William King and Ellen Gratton, with a son Daniel born in 1892, but I can no longer find it on there, so maybe it was incorrect and that's why it is no longer on there.

Hi Sinann
I think the family you found is the correct one, but I have been told that William's wife was called Ellen although there does seem to be some confusion over this, so maybe his wife was Hannah, I know Daniel had a sister called Ellen so this does look likely to be the correct family.
Thanks
