Regarding the coincidental couple in the 1911 census previously posted

Here is the marriage

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1904/10194/5709608.pdf

But I cannot see births to that couple that match Bridget, John or William. 

Only James.

Driscoll/Dillon marriage and birth of son James posted in reply #14

Unless OP can turn up marriage for William Driscoll to Mary Driscoll then I suspect that they weren't actually married.

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-

Son James born 1911- LINK (mother Dillon)

The John Driscoll birth 1907 is John my grandfathers brother born before our William and Mary got married in 1908

A John Driscoll born 1907 to unmarried Mary Driscoll- LINK

Marriage of William Driscoll & Mary Dillon 1904-

Sorry  >:(

I was more concerned that I couldn’t find the three births to that couple

Found this bit in the middle of my post you quoted-
Quote
The John Driscoll birth 1907 is John my grandfathers brother born before our William and Mary got married in 1908

We still need to see the 1908 marriage you mentioned at the start as well as a death for Mary in 1917.

You aren't allowed to post the whole certificate but if you post the links we can view them ourselves.
