Move from Canada to Curragh

[Christopher]

I'm working today and so don't have my family details with me but he was working in the woollen mill trade as I recall.

There were woollen mills in Co. Kildare but I'm not certain how far they were from the Curragh. There were also mills in Devon and Quebec. Could the moves have been connected with the wool trade? Whereabouts in England was your great grandfather born?

Glad you took my advice to post here for the amount of advice received in such a short time.
There were Woolen Mills in Naas Co Kildare up to the late 1950s. Naas is about 9 miles from the Curragh.

Hiya, well I have to say I am very impressed with the response I've had, thanks for the info about this site.

Happy New Year to everyone who has helped me so far

I can see from other posts you probably already have this cert of Charles' birth but I'm just amusing myself reading old posts.
