Hi
I believe my father was Richard Brussels, born in Roscrea in 1910. Does anyone know anything about him?

These small variations in surnames are not uncommon.

Thank you so much. I believe this is who I was looking for. I had found some re odds but not the census. Much appreciated.

In the 1902 marriage, Martin Brussel's father was given as Edward, Mary O'Reilly's father was given as Richard (both fathers labourers). A Martin Brussels was born in Roscrea on 4 April 1885 to parents Edward Brussels (described as 'pensioner') and Eliza Keasley.  Martin's parents in 1901:

That's brilliant, thank you so much. Adds another useful but of info. The person I am interested in is the son of Martin and mary, richard. He moved to England and unofficially changed his name (looks like to an anglicised version of his maternal grandmother's name. i am half Irish, but finding it difficult to prove it at the moment. Thanks again for your help. Pat
