Title: Willis, Oughterard; COMPLETED, THANKS!
Post by: Annie65115 on Tuesday 11 October 11 23:12 BST (UK)

The 1911 census shows the following family in Gortrevagh, Oughterard, Galway:

Robert E Willis, age 42, farmer
his wife Annie age 41
daughters Lily and Dilla aged 13 and 12
and a "boarder" (probably brother in law) Joseph P Hardiman, age 46.
(Plus a couple of servants).

All of the Willis family plus Joseph Hardiman give their place of birth as Galway.

I cannot find any of them in the 1901 Irish census. Can any eagle eyed RCers help me spot them please?
