That's a super interesting census entry isn't it ~ I can't say I've seen one like it before !

Do you have an occupation for Denis ?

It would be on his son Michael's marriage cert !

Going by the 1911 Census it states that Denis was staying with Edmond O'Connor of Derrindaff.

I would presume then that this is Edmond ~ address match to Derrindaff.

I wouldn't worry about the fact that Denis isn't on it ~ not all census takers were are thorough as the fab one in his own townland of Knockbrack.

Just attaching a map so that you can see the distance between the two areas, incase you haven't already !

Here are Denis & Edmond together on the 1901 Census in Derrindaff !

So, now there is a rough age for Denis, to work with !

Thank you so much. We were struggling with where Edmund lived as couldn't spell Derrindaff correctly thought the rr was tt. The marriage certificate has Denis down as a farmer. This must be the correct one. If only we knew this a few weeks back when we were over there. It seems Denis is a little older than Catherine by about 15 years. We think this link maybe where Catherine is in 1901:

This has John & Mary her children in it along with a possible brother. We just found this tonight. Interesting tho that Mary is stated as born in Co Clare and not Limerick.

[taramcdsmall]

It's her and the kiddos for sure 

OK So, now we have them all in 1901 & 1911.

Certain townlands here straddle the borders so it can be tricky with people from these areas and where they say they were born.

So, what are you looking for next ?

Tara

[taramcdsmall]

I have her and her brother's births ~

Do you want them or do you have them already ?

Tara

[taramcdsmall]

So, Catherine's parent's were called Michael Breen and Mary Curtin.
