Ireland / 1901/1911 Census Rural House Numbers
« on: Tuesday 08 July 14 14:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
Whilst trawling through the 1901 and 1911 Censuses for the townlands in Kerry where my great grandparents lived, I was intrigued by the numbering used by the enumerator.

I know for a fact that my grandparents and great grandparents lived in the same houses in both 1901 and 1911, and yet the house numbers are different in the censuses.

Obviously, new houses must have been built between the censuses, but trying to visualise where the new houses were on the ground is difficult.

So my questions are:
1. Did the enumerators work with maps of the areas that they marked off as they went around?
2. More importantly, did they survive?
3. Have they been digitised?
4. If the answers to 1, 2 and 3 are "Yes", where are they to be found?

Kerry / When was Maurice Griffin, Tailor, of Cromane Upper, Killorglin, Co.Kerry, born?
« on: Monday 30 June 14 16:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm trying to find out when Maurice, who was my great grandfather, was born. He and his wife, Kate, nee Hurl(e)y appear in both the 1901 and 1911 censuses, and his age implies a birth around 1850 to 1855, but I can't find a birth in Kerry in that time frame on churchrecords/irishgenealogy.ie that matches.

I have assumed that he was born in Cromane, which falls under the Killorglin RC Parish.

I don't know the names of his parents either.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
