Ducie

[roly]

Daithi,

Yeah: got them; and a strange lot of others.  I don't think that there's a close connection to Michael but I haven't yet pursued the ins and outs of the Ducie diasapora.

one last oddity
marriage Carlow Oct dec 1918
vol 3 page 282
Ellen DucLe not on Irish Census so possibly Ducie

Daithi: amazing (for me).  This is a whole family I never knew about (if your surmise is right).  Perhaps the Peter Ducie who died in 1964 was a product of the Peter Ducie you've discovered.

Michael's brother Peter married in Dublin and had at least two sons
twins in 1916 named Thomas and Patrick
but registered as male
Edited to state proven from army records

one last oddity
marriage Carlow Oct dec 1918
vol 3 page 282
Ellen DucLe not on Irish Census so possibly Ducie

If the Michael on Bridewell Lane is correct
He is shown with a sister Ellen in 1901
She married Peter Bigley in 1905 and is shown on the 1911 census, still living on Bridewell

EDITTED
For the first time in ages I forgot the word POSSIBLY
and misread the 1911 census for the 1901

THANK YOU DATHAI I appreciate the extra eyes!

Obviously an Ellen DUCIE and Ellen BIGLEY nee DUCIE on Bridewell Lane
are most likely related but cannot be the same person
Bilocation and all that...

Goes back to checking and double checking.........

MY LUCK how would you know which Ellen Ducie is the one you are referring to on the 1901 there are tvo Ellen Ducies age 11 and on the 1911 Census Michael's sister Ellen is still single age 21 so if one is married earlier as you suggest it seems logical that the second marriage refers to Michael's sister.

Thanks dathai for the wake up call literally!

They are not the same person as Ellen Bigley was a Moore for bridewell Lane. And I think your ellen married in 1918 to Christopher mcdonnell/ mc Donald. Here's the image from Irishgenealogy.ie

There's so much from contributors that I'm grateful for.  Where Perter Ducie is concerned, I learned that there is a headstone in Carlow with the names of a Peter Ducie, his wife, Annie, and their daughter, also Annie.  The headstone has Peter dying in 1957 ( I had a different date of 1964).  I'm not, of course, at all sure that this is 'my' Peter Ducie.

I believe that 'my' Peter, my uncle, was killed in a building accident.

There may well have been reports in newspapers.  It's a remote ask but if anyone can set me on a trail, I'd be grateful.
