Hi aghadowey,
Thank you for finding many records. I have them from my research but your findings confirmed that I was/am on the right track. Yes, you are correct Edward stated he was from Carlow--good point that it being a workplace and that he could have been from Dublin due to his being stonecutter/stone mason.
Sinann found that link on Josephine but with your help, I finally understand why she was in the Registers. Lame, poor her. I do not know there was another entry on her. Yet, she was a witness to her sister Bridget's marriage.
Indeed, I am annoyed that I couldn't find him in any death entry that fits him with an exception for 1917 entry but it shows him being married and his widow was Catherine.
Can the boarder be a relative and a boarder at the same time? I found my Bridget and Luke in Celbridge over in Kildare. Make me wondering where are other siblings?
I will work on your list of siblings. That makes a lot easier for me to track them. New sibling Margaret was not known to me until now.
Another thing is that I noticed that in workhouse or hospital, details might be vague at the best unless someone insisted that particulars to be recorded OR a person doing entries are good with details. Too often, they would not be specific with the occupations or wife's name, etc... if one is a stone cutter or stone mason, he will be recorded as a labourer which does not help with narrowing down which Edward is mine.
Very rarely, a relative would be buried with other relatives which would be a big help! I found my relatives that way.
Edward Patrick was in 1901 census or was it in 1911 with his uncle Thomas and aunt Burns. This couple fell off the cliff after 1911. I have no idea where they went. His aunt's name is very unique--Dorinda which should make it easy to spot her and her husband, right? Nope!
If we have 1921 census, that would be tremendous help. I think this census was destroyed in the fire? We already are passing 100 year mark now.
Will follow up later on as I need to get ready for my meeting in the afternoon. My thinking here is that we could try looking up someone's family trees to see if they have these people in them?
Seeing that I have twin Bridget and Luke and their spouses plus two children each, maybe there is a tree on them.
One big mystery here is where was my Eliza Lyons buried? She was not at Glasvensin? I know she is Roman Catholic but was raised in COI family. I have no idea where they took her to be buried in. That will helps us to clue in where and maybe we can find Edward Lyons? Ummm....
Food for thoughts!
Will be back with any findings at my end later on.
Thank you again for your help!
