Harry gilbert
« on: Sunday 14 November 10 09:48 GMT (UK) »
My grandad was born in york in 1903 ,went to Ireland then in 1919 back to York and he lived there until 1930,before moving to surrey .Grandad had an older brother ernest as well as younger sisters .
I have little info on who my great grandparents were,apart from thier names.Harry gilbert and lizzy (Fitzsimmons) .I cannot  trace where Harry originated from however Lizzie came from dublin Ireland .I am hoping that Harry snr or ernest came from staffordshire? By the way ernest was born in 1897 somewhere in england.I know its not much ,but im stuck!!

Please can anyone point me in a direction?

Here's the link for 1911 census- also says Lizzie had 6 children but only 5 living:

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

See that there's an earlier thread and 1911 Irish census was mentioned in Oct.2010:
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,489997.msg3476663.html#msg3476663

Also a thread on Dublin board from October where that census and possible marriage was pointed out-

And a thread (started today) on Wexford board which I've locked to avoid any more duplication-
