I am helping a friend research his Paternal side of the family. His Grandfather was Michael Nugent a Good's Foreman and his wife Bridget O'Mahoney or Mahoney. They lived on 3 Emmett Place in Waterford in 1922 when they had a daughter (my friend's) Mother. I can't find any other information on other children of Michael and Bridget or if they always lived in Waterford. They were of the Catholic faith but I don't know what parish to query so I'm at a loss on how I can go back further and get more information on the Grandparents. Can anyone advise where else I could look.
Greatly appreciated and thank you.

Bridget died 1948 with age given as 62, so born c1886, if Michael is around the age the 1911 census found looks good.

Michael died in Kempton Bedford England when working in a brick factory in 1947, the Irish Examiner says he was 59 and son of Capt William Nugent and the late Mrs Nugent Faithlegge.
Buried Faithlegge.
There is more in the newspapers which explains why he was working in England I’ll send a PM when I get a chance to read through it all.

Not easy to pinpoint Bridget O’Mahony in the census.
I think this might be her in 1901 in Kilsheelan, which is her address when she married
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Kilsheelan/Main_Street/1712287/
This would be her mother and brothers again in 1911 still in Kilsheelan.
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Kilsheelan/Kilsheelan_Town/819342/
This might be Bridget working as a domestic servant in 1911. When she married she was a ‘house maid”.

He was aged 60. His wife quite a bit younger, or she has taken some years of her age in the census?

As you know ages can vary a lot on records, Captain William Nugent's age on death cert is 45 in 1903 so birth year circa 1858.
There are quite a few records for a William Nugent born Waterford birth in the 1850s in the Shipping agreements and crew lists. http://census.nationalarchives.ie/search/cl/home.jsp they may not all be him.
What I can't see is his last ship the Elizabeth Cowman but the Eagle in 1901 is one that looks good.
http://census.nationalarchives.ie/search/cl/details.jsp?id=IRE/CREWLISTS/00652778
The newspaper report of his death Munster Express Feb 21 1903 says they were sailing from Waterford for Cardiff with timber, they were anchored at Glasshouse waiting for the tide when William went forward to make sure the anchor was clear he suddenly fell back and died.
He leaves a very large family. His widow lives at Faithlegge Lodge (Well the bad print looks more like Bodge) and is a sister to Mrs Joseph O'Shea, Francis Street. The vessel was owned by Captain Shea and Messrs Murphy

Once again thank you so much for this information. Very sorry, slow in responding, but was sick with flu and haven't been on computer for a few days.
Wishing you all the best over the holiday season and I have lots of great information to work on for my friend.
