Elliott help!
« on: Friday 07 May 10 21:17 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm looking for help tracing my GGG Grandparents. Their son Bernard Elliott is married and living in Dublin at the time of the 1911 census. On the census he has stated that he was born in Carlow in a place that looks like "graig"(?). He was born around 1856 according to the census so I need some help tracing his parents.

Any tips would be very welcome. Or out and out help would be brilliant ;)

Thanks in advance guys!

It looks like 'graig' could be "Graigue" in Carlow if that helps anyone.

It's definitely "graig" s probably refers to modernday Graiguecullen.
