Thank you very much heatherjulie for replying.

Some how or another I don't think this 1861 is the family I am seeking. The reason I hopped on the 1851 census mentioned by Carole was because it included a Christopher about the same age as my Gt grandfather Christopher Carr.
I live in hope that I might find some more of his family. I have learned a valuable lesson since struggling through family history when all older relations are deceased and that is "Listen to your mother while she is alive and write down all her long winded stories"!!!!!

Over the years I have found this further information - James Carr  was born Abt. 1818 in Ireland. He married Ellen Carroll on 04 Feb 1839 in St.Michael's Church in Dún Laoghaire address given as Glenageary. Ellen Carroll (daughter of John and Ellen)was born 14 August 1818 at Kingstown (now Dún Laoghaire).
Their son Thomas born 15 Dec 1839, Glenageary.

Christopher Carr born 13 Oct 1850 baptised. 27 Oct 1850 parents James and Ellen Carr Godfather Christopher ? Ellen ? They have the same surname so possibly husband and wife but I can’t read it. Family address given as Latimer St.

The handwriting is dreadful!
