Scottish Ship building
« on: Monday 15 June 15 14:52 BST (UK) »
Recently while helping out on another topic here on the Dublin Board we came across John Smellie ship builder
scroll down here for  ''Did your granny make bombs in WW1''
with reference to a row of houses on Fairfield Ave,East Wall ,Dublin that he built to accomodate his workers

The family being researched were on the 1901 and 1911 census in Scotland but appeared in Dublin between 1908 and 1909 on the Electoral Roll at the houses John Smellie built for his workers.

some men got married here and remained with families.

you may find relatives in Dublin during that period if they were involved ship building.

Dathai, those are good suggestions indeed. Link to the Electoral Roll for 1908-15 I hadn't seen before.
