Hi this is my first post
I am trying to find out if there are any census records for 1901 for the A block Portabella Barracks Dublin to see if my Grandmother Iris Walton/Burden was there in 1901 as her father was with the Warwickshire regiment  any help would be appreciated Robert.

Hi There & Welcome !

What was her father's name ?

What age would she have been in 1901 ?

Where were the family from ?

What age would her father have been in 1901 ?

Military men and their families were sometimes just entered by their initials on the 1901 Census so please give me as much info as possible and I shall have a look for them !

Mother's name would help as well as the men were usually listed separately.

Hi There

So, these are a tricky family ~

There is obviously a lot of movement in births of the children,
Charles' wife was from Dublin,
Charles' wife was previously married.

So, what was Elizabeth's maiden name to see can it help us track Iris ?

Have you found ANY of the rest of the family in 1901 ?
