Thank you!

I'm interested in Edward from Wicklow. It mentions in the census he was a light keeper and trying to establish does this mean "lighthouse" keeper or if he was responsible for lights. I have the census records for peppers and melia and the transcript of edwards marriage ( I should have said in initial enquiry)

Regarding the unknown pepper record ..the family myth was Bridget died giving birth to a daughter Harriet but I discovered Bridget died of TB in 1901.  This is the birth of Harriet which I could not get to the end of.  You have made my day. 

Thanks a million.

Depends on where he was on Census.  If 40 mile from coast possibly not a Lighthouse keeper.

".... It mentions in the census he was a light keeper...."
