Yep thanks. The family were living on Dungiven Road in 1911 with the exception of Mary who was in the cripple's hospital in Bray.

Hello
 Thank you for responding. The Margaret Sherrard I am related to must have been born sometime in the 1820's-40's. She was a mother in 1867 and her husband John Moon was born approx. 1824 / died 1904. I know nothing about her family beyond this. Many thanks!
