Also I wonder if anyone could help with Thomas O'Donnell the Father - married to Ellen Curran 1891
he suffered a shot to the head which ended with a metal plate placed in his head. He moved to London to live with daughter Bridget when his wife died but suffered mental health problems and was committed to Digby hospital in Exeter when he then died later.
Thus far, I have thought he was the Thomas O'Donnell born 1974 in Cahir, Tipperary, son of Patrick O'Donnell and Mary Carroll, although now I am unsure as realising in the 1911 census for the O'Donnell Family at Red Garden in Carrick on Suir , Thomas is listed as 37 years old, two years older than Ellen Curran born on 24th April 1974?

In the Marriage Certificate of Thomas and Ellen it says that she was 19 and he was 18 and that his father is in fact a Thomas O'Donnell also? But I have struggled to find a Thomas O'Donnell with this name for his Father born circa 1973?

Sorry for all the questions but I really want to get it right and I'm such a rookie!

I have found evidence that there was Christina O'Donnell but she can't have been born in 1912/13 as she was married in 1919 to Ernest L Beckingham. She died Jan 1985 in Exmouth and this death record has her birth date as 19 September 1899 making her a sure shoe in for the Eliza O'Donnell in the 1911 Census?

Could she perhaps have not been registered until 1913?
Could anyone shed any light on this?

Hi! I am new to all this but have been trying to discover as much as I can about my family history.
I recently discovered my Grandfather; John O'Donnell born 1902 in Carrick on Suir.
This is what I know so far and would love if anyone could help me any further.
His Father Thomas O'Donnell and Mother Ellen Curran (Maiden Name) were married in Carrick on Suir and had 7 children - Mary, James, Patrick, John (my grandfather), Bridget, William and Ellie.
They lived together at House 3, Red Garden, Carrick on Suir, co Tipperary according to the Ireland Census 1911.
My Grandfather went on to join the Royal Munster Fusiliers 2nd Battalion in 1919 til 1922 in WW1 and served in Egypt during this time.
He somehow ended up in Watford, Hertfordshire, England where he met my Grandmother and my father was then born in 1949 he was around until my father was approx. age 2 and I know nothing of him after that.

I have been told a story by a relative of the Curran/Cunningham/Connelly side of my family that my one of my Grandfathers siblings was shot dead on his door step by the Black and Tan, so very interested in knowing more about that too.
I would so love to know more about my family and particularly my Grandfather. If anyone can help me with this, I would be so grateful!!
I am currently signed up to Ancestry and Find my past but have seemed to have drawn a dead end.
I look forward to contact from anyone with an insight.
