Hi CaroleW,
Thanks again for your help with the census.

No joy with the 1891 I'm afraid.  I've tried the English 1891 as well

Hi Carole,
Thanks for taking the time to look.

There's a 21 year old Thomas in Ayr but with the spelling FITZSIMONS !

And there's an 1870 birth in Ayr for Thomas FITZSIMMONS.

In 1881 there's a Thomas, 10 yr old nephew, in the household of  John O'HARRO 52 Horse Dealer, b. Ireland and wife Ann.

That one is shown as b Ireland - not Ayr

I'd be near certain that John O'HARA (or the enumerator) got it wrong in 1891 as the same John O'HARRO <sic> in 1881 gives Ayr as his nephew's place of birth.

In 1871 5 mo. old Thomas FITZSUMMONS (a guid broad Ulster accent there?), grandson, is in the household of James SCULLION, Swine Dealer - Thomas's mother was Mary SCULLION.  Both Thomas and his 2 yr old sister Annie, are shown as born Ayrshire St Quivox, which most folk would describe as Ayr.

Hi ibi,
Thanks for the information, James Scullion is the right family. Mary died in 1874.
its just that i could not find Thomas or Annie after 1881. I think i have now found Thomas's marriage in1897 aged 26. It do's say his father was a Robert  instead of Thomas but it do's have the right mothers name.
