Thank you Hallmark and Dathai,
That Hosp. record is the one I had just found which provided the new info.  Need to figure out the Ballymadog reference as it's the first time that place name has appeared.  I know the family house was in Knockadoon just s.e. of Ballymacoda.
That is the correct 1911 census with Ellen, my great grand, as head of house.  I had never seen the census listing vessels before!  Very exciting.  Paddy was apparently quite a fisherman so it is possible that is his boat.    I have a copy of a newspaper article, unknown date but after 1950 when Paddy died.  The article is headed "The lobster woman of Ballyandreen".  It refers to Mrs. Anne Dawes (nee Murray)  Article refers to her relation the late Paddy Murray "one of the best salmon and herring fishermen of Knockadoon".  Two months ago I emailed the Midleton chamber of commerce trying to find out how I might track down another copy of this article.  It is a cut and paste job sent to me years ago, without publication name or date of publication.  It is very difficult to read.  I did get a response from the chamber saying they would pass my question on to a local researcher but no response yet.  The article was written by "our correspondent" so no help there.  I'm trying to find out what papers are in the area that would report on fishermen from ballyandreen/knockaddoon after 1950.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
Does anyone know if the name Cork District Hospital could be the Cork District Lunatic Asylum?  The name was  found as the place of death in a death records book for Sup. Registrar's Dist. Cork, District No. 1 Rural.   If this place is one and the same where should I start looking for any records if they exist?  Death occurred in 1950 and looks like relative may have been there a couple of years prior to death.  I found some info by googling, which is how I learned of the lunatic asylum but no mention of a plain old Cork District Hospital.   Any help appreciated.  Thank you.  Ruthi

Dathai,
Just wanted you to know what a help your reply was to me.  I used the link you gave and after a few emails and only a few days I received copies of records for not one but two of my grandmother's sisters who where put in the Clifden Industrial School for begging.  Rules of the time dictated they remain there until they were 19.  Entering at the tender ages of 5 and 7 meant they were in the school for the bulk of their childhood and teenage years.
Again, thank you.  ruthi 

Hi Ian,
I am carefully going thru all the sources you kindly sent.  I had most of them.  The two household exams I had not seen actually were very helpful.  One giving a death year for Maja Asell. 
You give House Exam  Eskilsater  AI2  1786-95  sid 98 as a possibility for Daniel.  When looking at that I can only see one Daniel listed  Daniel Simon in top grouping.  I'm wondering what made you think this may be Daniel Anderson?  It looks like the Daniel listed is taking his mother's surname as a middle name but a crossed out male at top had the given name of Anders. Anders surname is Nords????
I am trying to close the time gap from Daniel in Grums Sodra Sem in 1796  sid 74 backward to the H.E exam mentioned above.  I cannot make out where he moved from on the 1796 document.  Wondering if that was what made you look at the Eskilsater entry, which makes sense since he was born in Eskilsater.
I cannot access the 2 Inventory and wills documents right now as ancestry does not have them. I think you get those from Arkivdigital which I use on my infrequent trips to the LDS library in Salt Lake.  I'll see about taking one of their short term subscriptions as I know they have more than what ancestry bought from genline.  they may also have a H.E exam record missing from ancestry. 
Grums years 1762-1778  is not on the ancestry list.  I usually work up a list of a dozen items to make my short subscriptions worthwhile.
Again,  thank you for all the effort you put into tracking down those records.  That is above and beyond!   Ruthi
