Hi gortonboy,

I think you have 2 different families there. I was puzzled about Richard and Maggie so have had another look.

1901 has that family in Cunnagher North, Turlough.

The other Edward and Bridget are in Lack West.

best wishes

hi,,,i have the correct family...i have them in the 1901 census,,,,then the 1911.....i dont know which family u r refering to in cunnagher north?

[heywood]

Apologies.

I'm just trying to sort it myself re 1911 and perhaps should have done first.
I was just puzzled re Richard and Maggie from 1911 and wondered where they were in 1901 and found a family-
Edward 60 yrs, Bridget 48 yrs with amongst other children, James(11)-Richard(6)-Maggie(4) which would fit with the 1911 family.
