Helping a person compile their family tree and we have gotten stuck on a direct ancestor.
Details are sparse but I think we have the correct wife from 1901/1911 Irish census plus marriage entry.
Person in question is William Casey.Below are what details we have so far.
Married April 1899 Dalkey Dublin to Elizabeth Behan.His fathers name is given as Thomas Casey.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1899/10381/5779526.pdfCould find no likely birth entry that would fit.Nothing apart from the marriage entry.No deaths that might match .As regards his father find a death entry of a Thomas Casey which is a possibility perhaps
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1901/05729/4616912.pdfFamily lore says he was a soldier and the dates would suggest Boer War.
His wife is,we think, the Lizzie Casey on the 1901/1911 census below.

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1873/03175/2164532.pdfHis wife states married in 1901 and widowed by 1911(again assuming we have the correct person). We couldn't find her husband anywhere on 1901 census (her daughter Mary is living with grandparents here in 1901 )

Apologies for the long post but anyone any pointers,ideas or maybe we are on the wrong track and perhaps have mixed up some people.
Have found death entry for Elizabeth Casey nee Behan along with marriage entry for her daughter Mary Casey and we know these are the correct ones.
