I have now realised that the use of niece or nephew to describe a grandchild in 1901 and 1911 was so widespread that it is not worth trying to document every occurence on this thread.

| I have been researching a Malone family whose address is given on birth and marriage records as Millpark up to 1895 and I have found them in Kilkerin townland in the censuses of 1901 and 1911. While they could have moved between 1895 and 1901, I think it is more likely that Millpark is a local name ... |

| Maggie Jane Lynch was double counted in 1911, with her parents in Moveen West and as a "niece" with her maternal grandmother in Furroor Upper. See http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Clare/Moveen/Moveen_West/362983/ and http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Clare/Mo... |

| Sorry, Bob, I should have avoided the terms "senior" and "junior" when referring to a sequence of more than two generations with the same name. Let's try numbering the generations I, II and III. Edward Bennett I married Margaret McNamara. I do not know either his father's name or... |

Margaret McNamara had siste... |
