James Donohue and family in censuses 1871 onwards...

[NNR]

James Donohue - whose parents and family were farm labourers - was born in 1845 in Bellevue (near Nenagh), Tipperary and apparently moved to England where he married and had at least two children - two sons (who later grew up to be lawyers). Their names may well come from James' own family, suggesting Michael, William or Edward might be among them.

James later apparently left his family and returned home to Ireland where he lived out his days. His sons remained in England.

This is what was told later by his niece and great-niece. However, I have never seen any records relating to him following his 1845 baptism. Can anyone locate any possibilities on UK censuses?

I'll ask the same question that I asked on your previous thread.

Is this the same family? http://www.odonoghue.co.uk/dphorum/read.php?1,28

There is a difference in James' birth year

Hello,

When and where did James die?
Does his death certificate give a clue re his occupation?
Is he in 1901 or 1911 Irish census?

Regards
Heywood

Yes, that is the James in question. That post was written by a much younger me (12 years ago!) with less access to sources. I do not believe that "James went to Kirkdale, Liverpool (I believe) and married, but left his family before 1881. One son was a lawyer, one daughter married Mr. Carr and lived in Birmingham" is correct any more.

Heywood, I cannot find James in either the 1901 or 1911 censuses. I do not know when he died and have no records at all for him following his own baptism.
