John McCune, Dublin - Marriage and Census

[jeune-romantique]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone was able to assist me - I am trying to locate John McCune and his parents John and Jane in the 1901 and 1911 census or in any other records. John was born in Dublin in about 1896. John married Elizabeth Murray in 1917 in South Dublin but that is all I am able to find. John and Elizabeth had three children - John Aloysius McCune in 1918, Bernard Joseph McCune in 1920 and Maureen Patricia McCune in 1921. The family emigrated to Australia in 1926 aboard the Demosthenes from London.

The surname doesn't appear to be that common so I wondered if the surname is something slightly different but have had no luck with McKeon, McCann and other similar surnames (can't recall all the ones I have tried).

Any assistance and advice appeared! Thanks

Thank you for your help guys.

I am not 100% on his father's names - they are taken from his death certificate, and the informant was one of his sons.

John's (junior's) full name is John Stephen McCune. I don't know anything more about his parents.

I only know where his wife Elizabeth was living before she married John Stephen McCune - 11 Upper Leeson Street in Dublin.

Did you get the marriage cert from 1917 as it would confirm John Stephen's father's name and possibly occupation that might help with census search.

Wonder if John senior was in the military family could be enumerated using the initial systen i e MC for MCUNE and J for John.
also not sure if you noticed this child death
Anne Veronica McCune
Death  Apr June Dublin South
1925 age 1
vol 2 page 329.

Maybe they weren't in Ireland, has the Uk census been searched.
A military record would be worth looking for as well, the family could have gone to where he was posted.

first owned by IOW&S of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Co.
Taken over by the Royal Navy Admiralty and used as a minesweeper, survived the war but was sank off the Darndales circa 1919 after hitting a submerged wreck.
This will have to be your next step finding records for the above ship and whether John was in the Navy or a Civilian worker.
Best of luck with your search, regards Dathai.
