Where do I start?

[bean]

ok - using the 1911 census (Newry) I've found an ancestor listing their birth as Cork City, I know their fathers name from their marriage (1909) but they don't show up in the 1901 census.
This is all new to me, previous hunts have been in England & Wales, and I'm struggling to know where to find what.
Is there an Irish verson of freebmd/freereg or similar?

I'm hoping some kind soul will give me some pointers to get me going so thanks in hope,

Bean

Post the names so others can search for ALL of them in 1901

good point - sorry!!

John Twomey (Ancestor line I'm trying to trace) with his wife Ellen (nee McCann) is a carter aged 38 in Newry, Co. Down. who lists his birthplace as City of Cork in the 1911 census.
They married in 1909, also in Newry Co. Down, from which I know his father is Francis Twomey but there is no info on his mother.

I've just noticed, his age is listed as 38 for his marriage - 1909 - but also as 38 in the 1911 census.
His job listed for his marriage is carter and his fathers job is listed as liveryman

Here's a link to the 1911 census (it really does help if you post the link for something you've found in order to save us from having to find the same information).
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Down/Newry_South/Castle_Street/256451
In 1911 John is age 38 so born c1873.

The marriage took place 31 Jan.1909- what's listed for John's address?

If John was 29 when he married, here are all the Johns age 15 to 25 in 1901 Census

sorry - I will get the hang of this, honest   
his address for his marriage is 21 Corn Market, Newry

his marriage age is shown as 38 on the transcription I have, his wifes age is listed as 32 - in the 1911 census they're listed as 38 and 34 so I suspect a typo on the transcription and it should really be 36.
