Title: CABHRÚ LE DO THOIL LE ÁIT BHREITHE
Post by: stevehyland on Sunday 05 January 14 05:12 GMT (UK)
Ní féidir liom a aistriú 1911 eolas daonáirimh. An féidir le héinne cuidiú?

 :) I'm delighted with such a quick response.  I couldn't even decipher the writing.

If I read your series of responses correctly, 1 is probably Meath; 2 is unknown (I understand she was foreign); and the rest are Westmeath.

Do I have that right?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for the clarification: all Dublin except the second one who's Meath/Westmeath.

Thanks also for the table of counties and translator suggestion.  Unfortunately they're only useful if you can read the writing... I couldn't.  But I will certainly make use of it when I have typed text.

Again, thanks.

Now that I'm up and about again....I have tried to find him (and his family) in the 1901 Census, but without luck. 

I was lucky to find him in the 1911 Census because at some point he (James Casey) started calling himself Seamus O Cathasaigh (various spellings in the transliteration I guess).  And the English-ified translation of his 1911 census papers were almost entirely blank.  I think the census collector was having as much difficulty as I was!
