Cummins

[Des Cummins]

If someone could assist in furthering information regarding the Cummins or Dunne Family. I am looking for information on a John Cummins 1860 and Jane Dunne 1861, both born in Queens County, Laois. I have them marrying on Jun 2nd 1889 St Paul's, Arran Quay, Dublin, Ireland and went on to have 7 children with 5 surviving Mary Cummins(1890–)William Cummins(1891–)
James Cummins(1897–1966) Kathleen Cummins(1900–1976) and Annie Cummins(1903–)

Requesting mainly information for John, I have them in 1911 in Dublin and the possible parents to John Cummins are James Cummins and Bridget McDonnell B.abt.1840? in Laois. The possible parents to Jane Dunne are Daniel and Mary B. abt. 1840? Where did they come from as I have no detail really of them in Queens County

Really appreciate any info

Parents residences are given as Cummins New York and Dunne Portarlington.

Thank you so much for your reply, I have that information and it has confused the situation a little... Who were they in Ireland, where did they live in Queens County, how many was in that family, was he born in NY or traveled there,  how did that family get there, at the moment it's like looking for a needle in a haystack? as I don't know their family here in Ireland, information from Ireland might just open up some possibilities and ensure I have got the correct family.

Hi Des,

Where do you have the possible parents, James Cummins and Bridget McDonnell?

It's easier if we can see the records.
1911 where John and Jane say born Queens County
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Arran_Quay/Benburb_Street/53880/
Kathleen/Catherine's birth is also Benburb St. 11 March 1900

But I don't see the family there at first look through in 1901

The civil record of the marriage gives both fathers as labourers and doesn't say either was deceased.

I was thinking along those lines too. Anna was born at the same Address.
I have found neighbours from 1911 in 1901 so there doesn’t seem to be a missing census page

The only clue as to where in Queens County is the Portarlington address for Jane's parents, as it's likely John and Jane knew each other before moving to Dublin Portarlington seems the best place to start.

I was hopeing to find John in the Guinness employee records but I'm not having any luck.
