That's a coincidence then because that particular William senior on the 1911 census was a Tinsmith in Cork as well --and had sons John and William, and a wife named Mary -- might he have married twice I wonder and the previous children been from the first marriage?

Also the William born July 1909 would only be 1 year old on 1911 census as it is supposed to be age last birthday.

Or am I missing something -- probably!

Gets all Marys...then sort by name, 100 per page!

Yes it must be coincidence because I've seen the marriage in 1904 of William (not mine). He could have been married before I suppose but he still didn't have a son James in 1911. The only James Driscoll born in 1911 was the one with the mother's name of Dillon. Thank you

I am just trying to follow this and work it out 

I can’t see the marriage for William and Mary - is his father John?

If so, is this the family in 1901 -living in Greenane, Cork
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Greenane/Greenane_Lower/1148267/

I based this on your information re William snr in 1911 living with his mother
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Kilcullen/Killeenleigh/424444/

Is that him?

Yes this is my William senior. On the 1911 he states he's married with one child (not living with him). Don't know where his wife is (my great grandmother) or my grandfather William and brother John. Why was he not living with them? He probably says he's only got one child as his wife had a son by someone else before they married in 1908

What we are finding doesn't entirely match with the information you have so far.

We have this family in 1911 census where husband William is tinsmith, wife is Mary, and there are sons John & William-

Sue,
Can you post a link to the marriage please?

[aghadowey]

I can't see a death for Mary Driscoll in 1917 from TB but there is a spinster called Mary Driscoll died of TB in 1911-

Also a married one in 1911 from TB-

still doing searches...

It is a bit difficult, for sure.

For example these are William Driscolls who are Tinsmiths in 1911, including the married one living with his mother.
