Dublin / Re: Lookup please. Great grandfather Davis
« on: Monday 31 August 09 21:38 BST (UK) »Hi Tracey,
The William Davis listed on the 1911 Census living in Summerhill is my Grandfathers brother. His parents are also listed living at 157.2 Britain Street, Rotunda. If this is your William, he is the second son of William Davis and Mary Walsh. I have their 1901 Census Return - they were living at 9 Grenville St. and William is listed on that Return age 11.
My Mother who is in her eighties remembers John but can't remember what happened to William. My grandfather was married twice and my mother is the youngest child of the second marriage. She also remembers that John was married twice . Wlliam's mother Mary died in 1943 at 13 Mountjoy St. I have not found his fathers date of death.
There also other children on the 1901 Return - Elizabeth, Hanora, Rose and Mary Jane. On the 1911 there is another child Annie.
Hi Beach,
Thanks for the info, sounds to me like it's the same William. Have PM'd you.
Kind Regards,
Tracey
