aghadowey,

I got to admit with my tree its a complete mess, going back to my earlier posts i think there's been two John Flanagans with father William, and i've somehow got it wrong, and chose the wrong one. ???

So this John Flanagan occupation: Commercial Traveller who's death in 1897 in Dublin, has me really thinking, and now i'm trying to find a way on going backwards in years, maybe the Thom's street directory could be the answer.

From the birth records in Belfast and Waterford it's quite possible he will have been missed in directories.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi dathai,

On the 1901 Irish Census my grandfather William Flanagan 14yrs was in a boarding school for boys at No 1 Malone Lower (Saint Anne's Ward, Belfast Antrim.

On the 1901 Irish Census my great aunt Jessie Flanagan 16yrs is written down as niece, and living at 20 Markstown Road, (Blackrock, Dublin).

Sorry if i mentioned William living in Dublin, its actually his sister Jessie.

you may be able to get some background information ie when he was sent there and possibly when his father died from records

As he was probably sent there around the time of his mothers second marriage he would probably have been around 10 or 11, i would say that by the time of his marriage in 1916 that he had no knowledge of his deceased fathers occupation and just said Mason.
