I am looking for information on Daniel Fitzpatrick and Mary Cosgrove (my g-g-grandparents) from Derryvona a few miles north of Belturbet.  They had  the following children:
James c1840, Philip c1850, Michael c1855 who emmigrated to Gympie, Australia to mine gold in the years between 1860's and 1880's, Hugh c1844 who emmigrated to America and became a policeman in New York, Patrick who married Bridget Cassidy, Mary who possibly married a Nolan and Thomas.
If anyone can provide any other information I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Althea
Yes that's me and I am also listed in ancestry.
Regards Kath

Thanks for that Osprey, this is a possibility, I will see what I can find out about this one. 
In my earlier postiing I mentioned that Thomas b1806 remarried to widower Emma Blee.  Emma's first husband Henry Blee was an ironmonger and their only child also Henry was apprenticed to Thomas as a surveyor.  Perhaps there was some arrangement made throught the families for his employ there.

Thank you for that, the records that I viewed did have the house numbers on it, but it still remains, even if the enumerator changed the numbering, why would it have been changed back again?
I have not checked for Frank in other countries as I'm not sure he was even alive, but perhaps I will need to start down this track.  However, Weston was clearly still alive and in England, but does not appear anywhere.  I'm sorry for my ignorance but where is Stroud?  I have checked all of the census records for Thomas' parents and siblings and can't find them there, although I haven't been able to get a 'hit' on all of them during that year, but I've covered most of them and all of what is available on line (there were 9 siblings).  Hmmmmm!
Oh well I'll just keep plodding along!

I wonder if anyone can help me please.  I am looking for information on Frank and Weston Hickes, this is what I have to date.
In the 1851 census it shows Thomas Hickes 46 Surveyor of Roads and County Bridges, wife Grace (nee Blee) 39. Thomas James 11, Edward 10 (my g-grandgather), Frank 8 and Weston 6 all living at 16 Prospect Place, Truro, Cornwall. 
In 1857 Grace dies, so her sons would be Thomas 17, Edward 16, Frank 14 and Weston 12 at the time of her death.  By the 1861 census, Thomas Snr has remarried to widower Emma Blee (nee Osler) living at 7 Prospect Place (why would they move across the street ?) with Thomas James now 21 and assistant to his father as a surveyor and Edward 20 a Seaman.  I can find no other record of Frank or Weston except for Weston's death in 1864 aged 19.  Clearly he is still alive during the 1861 census, but I'm at a loss as to where to find him. 
Does anyone know of the protocol for boys aged 12 and 14 at the time of their mother's death?  Would they have been sent to boarding school and if so, are there records available for this, or would they have been sent to another member of the family?  I would imagine that if they were with another member of the family it would still show up in a census record, but I can not find anything.  If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. 
Many thanks Kath
