“ Quay ( or Ouay ) Lane Galway
Patrick Griffin d.o.b. 5th Mar 1886
Father Martin Griffin ( house carpenter )
Mother Margaret Griffin ( nee Donohoe )”

Dud you discount this one?

On the marriage certificate what was his father’s occupation?

Maybe S or SS might let the rest of us in on the secret?

As in, where is this information coming from? Where are the marriages, etc?

My DBM was a genuine mistake I made so I deleted it. You can see one of the deleted posts under my query at 11.30am. I have no idea why the blaze of deletions of other people's posts. Perhaps a moderator did it? 

DBM is short for deleted by me. 

Also a note that people starting new threads when old threads exist seem to be hugely on the rise at the moment.  It has the potential to waste large amounts of time as we search for material that has already been provided.  The search function is not difficult, it just looks it as you have the option to include/exclude boards.  If you think you might have asked before just do a quick search under your user name or the people you are searching for.

Actually in terms of good genealogical practice we should be searching before posting our queries ...you never know someone may have already provided the answer to bash down our brick wall, being optimistic!!!

“ Quay ( or Ouay ) Lane Galway
Patrick Griffin d.o.b. 5th Mar 1886
Father Martin Griffin ( house carpenter )
Mother Margaret Griffin ( nee Donohoe )”

That couple did have a son named John Griffen, baptized 4/2/1881.
May be the John Griffin in Quay Lane, Galway in 1901 census, aged 18, or 22.
