I think this is him !

matthew crowe
...

that looks good...   I saw that earlier but ruled it out because of the place of birth, but never spotted the occupation. The form was not filled in by a family member, which could explain a mixup in the counties..

I'll have a look for Heathlodge townland, and see how close to Carlow it is..

that townland is close to Port Laoise.. about 35km from Carlow town.

I think the area is still known locally as 'The Heath'

I know 'The Heath / Ballycarrol' well, it's on the outskirts of Portlaoise town.

While not 'near' Carlow in the technical sense, it's not a million miles away either.  I would imagine stable hands moved to where the work was !

What was Matthew's father's name from his marriage cert ?

Only 2 Crowe men were having children in Carlow at this time

Edward Crowe and Ellen Ryan

OR

Daniel Crowe and Catherine Roache

I presume that one of these men is your great grandfather !!

Do you want help going back further or was it just the 1901 census that you were looking for ?

Please let us know

Hi Tara & Shane,thank you both for the information you have found so far.The Matthew Crowe on the census looks like a strong match,I say this as the age is correct he was a groom and also did become a footman.
The name of my grandfathers farther is Patrick Crowe.
As for the birth cert link it failed to come through,I do actually have a copy of his birth cert and it reads as follows:Name: Matthew
Fathers name and place of dwelling: Patrick Crowe,Brownes Hill
Mothers name:Catherine Crowe:formerly Deegan.
Rank or profession of father:Herd
    Once again thank you both very much,
     Regards Diarmuid
