I am trying to find info on my G grangfather Joseph Melia, I believe his wife was Mary(my g g/mother) My father and his father was from Mullingar, so I assume they were also from there, but cant be sure.

I have also just found out that Mary lived at Cathedral view, next door to Patrick my G/father.

I have checked the 1901/1911 census but cant find anything on them, pease can anyone help as I am really struggling and have posted about him before with no response.

Their childen were, Patrick, Frank, Tony, Mary

Any help would really be appreciated, thanks :)

I've merged today's post with the one looking for the same information you'd made earlier. Perhaps if you can give us an idea of their ages we might be able to find them in 1901 and 1911 for you.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

It is all guess work, I think my grandfather was born about 1885, so Joseph and Mary could have been born any time from 1840's to 1850's.


I think I have found my grandfathers 1st family(wife) Katie in the 1911, he was 26 then, so he would have been born in 1885

I have searched through for a joseph and just cant find anything!

Thanks for the help!

Hi

The 1911 Census shows a Joseph, age 74 & Elizabeth age 67, living with their son Joseph age 26 near Fore, Co. Westmeath.  Joseph states that he was born in Westmeath.  Apparently this couple had 7 living children at that time.  Who were the other 6 children?  You can see the entry at:-

Could this be your missing Joseph?

Cheers
