Yes, I think I have been on a wild goose chase, unfortunately.  My Greatgrandfather Andrew Lawlor states on the 1891 census when living in Surrey that he was born 1865 in Lettonn Ireland.  Cannot find this place.  Cannot find any trace of his birth, maybe I should be checking out Dublin births?On another census he states born in Raheen Queens.  Very confusing.
Thank you everyone for your help, disappointed but shall keep looking for clues.

He is there in Athy!! You had already found him!

Oh, I really hope that is him, except, is Lettonn likely to be in the Athy region? Also, on his marriage cert. 1890 He said his father John Lawlor was dead, but the John Lawlor in this family in Tankardstown died in 1898. Also Mary Lawlor ..could be a sister, born about 1879 says her father is John, farmer also.
Thanks for your help, but I have doubts now

You are looking for children of JOHN LAWLOR AND WIFE BRIDGET DELANY

Just a matter of looking at Certs and choosing correct ones without confusing things talking about other Marys etc who are clearly not the children of  JOHN LAWLOR AND WIFE BRIDGET DELANY....

Still not sure I am following right family of John Lawlor and Bridget Delany. Have by chance made contact with a previously unknown family member who says my Ggrandfather Andrew Lawlor had a sister Mary born 2/12/1862 Maryborough county. Cannot find any record of this. Any ideas ?

Look for a Marriage for her or check Church Registers

My new relative tells me:
John Lawlor had possible John who had daughter Mary Lawlor born 1879 Maryborough
Then Mary born 1862 Maryborough married Cleall and lived in Dorset
Then Andrew (my ggfather) 1864-1866 Raheen or Lettonn Queens lived in New Malden Surrey
Possibly Catherine born 1868 Raheen Queens died 1957 New Jersey USA
Is Maryborough in Athy region?
I have been following wrong family of John and Bridget Lawlor of Tankardstown, because none if this fits.  Cannot find births before 1864, any suggestions? Thanks
