The Williams family Dublin
« on: Saturday 14 May 11 20:34 BST (UK) »
Hi,

My Dad, George William was born in Dublin Workhouse 88 years ago. At the age of around he was farmed out to a farm with another boy called John Morrice. He is still alive and would love to find any family. His family lived in Gardener street Dublin and his mum was called Emily and had him around the age of thirty five. She called him after her brother who died in the war.
The Williams family were involved in scrap metal at some point. I think two brothers came over from England Grandparents but am not sure.

This is probably George's mother Emily Williams and her family in 1911 census-

And in 1901-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Mountjoy/Lower_Gardiner_St_/1327270

Will move this thread to DUBLIN board to see if more details can be found.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you for your help. It would be great to find someone from the Williams family alive today. before my dad dies. He had such a hard life and it would be great to find out who he is and where he came from.

The Rootschat forum is really here to help people find their ancestors, not their living relatives, and because of that, we do have a 'no living people policy'. That means if you do post names and information about them it will be removed to protect their identity and privacy.

However, the moderating team do realise that this causes frustration and so there are a couple of links on our help page which can be found here

I have also been searching for living relatives and it is soo difficult

The following may help but all information needs confirmation:
I looked at you Emily's family in 1901 and 1911 - Samuel is listed in the baptisms on www.familysearch.org as born to Henry WILLIAMS and Mary Anne KANE on 09.Aug.1880
As he was still single in 1911 I looked for marriages after that (his being a more unusual name)
There is one listed as:
Dublin North Jan-Mar 1913 Volume 2 Page 464
(this is the reference can be used to order the certificate)
There is also a death registered:
Dublin North Jul-Sep 1939 Volume 2 Page 222 aged 54 (age slightly out but not unusual at the time)
If this is correct his death certificate possibly could help place if indeed he married and where he was living

Also Sarah could have married between 1901 and 1911 or be one of the three children that died.
This is a possibility if she married
Dublin North Jan-Mar 1903 V2 P531

If you check the other famly members you may find information this way leading you to obituaries and more current information.

The register of electors is online for Dublin in 1939 just mentioned may also help place them and it is also available on microfilm in Pearse Street Library for further years up to 1963
Kearney & Bourke/ Johns & Fox/ Mannion & Finan/ Donohoe & Curley
Byrne [Carthy], Keeffe/ Germaine, Butler/ McDermott, Giblin/ Lally, Dolan
Toole, Doran; Dowling, Grogan/ Reilly, Burke; Warren, Kidd [Lawless]/ Smith, Scally; Mangan, Rodgers/ Fahy, Calday; Staunton, Miller
Further generations:
Brophy Coleman Eathorn(e) Fahy Fitzpatrick Geraghty Haverty Keane Keogh Nowlan Rowe Walder
