Missing from 1901 Census - Boyle

[DeniseBS]

Hi

I am researching for friends of mine. Their family were the Boyles from Clonmel, Tipperary. I can find them on the 1911 census no problem, but no matter what I try I cannot locate them on the 1901 census. Are parts of Tipperary missing from the 1901 census?

The family are James and Mary Boyle with children Mary 1887, John 1889, Michael 1891, Bridget 1893, Patrick 1894, Catherine 1896, James John 1898, Ellen 1900. The parents and the first five childern were born in Limerick (Tervoe for the children). Catherine, James and Ellen were born at Marlfield just outside of Clonmel. The next child born after the 1901 census was born in Irishtown, Clonmel.

I have looked for them in both Tipperary and Limerick in 1901 with no luck. James Snr was a gardener.

Any suggestions appreaciated.

Thanks

Denise

Hello Denise,

I have looked at 1911 for Irishtown - there is an Irishtown Lower and Irishtown Upper. The DED is Clonmel West Urban.
1901 does not have these Townlands and the list is considerably shorter in 1901 than 1911.
I also checked a few names from 1911 Irishtown lower and they are not in 1901 census.
It looks to me as though there are missing sections.

Hi Heywood

Thank you for your quick reply. I thought I was going nuts. Nice to have someone else confirm what I was beginning to think.

Yes that is the family I am working on. Just wish I could find them in the 1901 census.

Cheers

That is fantastic. How did this work? Does it mean that they were not indexed but you found them by looking directly at the film? There does not appear to be an address on the sheet. Did you find them in Irishtown, Clonmel?

I had missed Bridget as she wasn't on the 1911 census with her parents, but was a live in servant elsewhere. I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed any other children.

Thank you so much Sinann. Rootschat solves the problem again.

Thanks

There is a lot of film in the 1901 Census that isn't picked up by the search so you have to go through the film image by image, got lucky with this one sometimes it can take ages.

James is at number 56
