Oh dearie me. I don’t know what advise. I might be missing something in my explanation but I can’t think what.
Sometimes, I know that the site is problematical but it has been fine in these searches.

Good luck.

Heywood and Bridgidmac I've worked it out that they are the same families on the censuses. I managed to find the Bishop's Transcripts for Mullinahone and all the children were born to Christopher and Mary Ann.

On the 1911 census Mary Ann says she's had 9 children and all are still alive. There are 6 children on the census and the Baptisms I found show that there were 3 other children William born 1874,  Mary born 1876 and Margaret born in 1880. William and Margaret are on the 1901 census.

I know Christopher's age is way out on the censuses because I found his baptism in 1843. His death record in the 2nd quarter 1918 gives his age as 75 which makes his birth year 1843.

Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it.

I won't give up trying to find the pages you found Heywood I'll access them somehow I'm a stubborn old goat.  :)
