Hi Teena,

I have Alice among my extended family, in that her husband was my g-g grandfather's brother. I saw the entry suggested by Ricky above, and would add that it is the only one I've found where an Alice appears to be the daughter of a Samuel, although it is difficult to be sure on the 1841 census.

Best wishes

Stuart.

Many thanks for the reply, Gougy. If any reader fancies a challenge, here's what his place of birth looks like on the 1881:



His is the top one; those of his family below it are for (limited) comparison purposes. That, to someone, is "Chunal;" to me, it looks like something in brackets. Ennis, perhaps?

Clare / Samuel Tanner, b 1855, County Clare
« on: Sunday 26 March 06 13:02 BST (UK)  »
Hello, all.

My g-gf, Samuel Tanner, was born around 1855 in Ireland. The 1881 UK census has him born in "Chunal, Ireland;" this appears to be one transcriber's best guess at a completely indecipherable entry! 1871 specifies County Clare. He was the son of an English-born railwayman named Edward Tanner, and from marriage details and birth places of Samuel's siblings it appears that the family was in Ireland for no more than ten years.

Since I'm not familiar with Irish records, can anyone offer anything on the following, please?

1) Are there any internet-based resources that might allow me to track down an exact date and place of birth for Samuel?

2) Since Samuel's father was a railwayman It is possible that he was in Clare, on railway work. Were there specific projects in progress between 1850 and 1860?

Many thanks

Stuart
