Re: Routes taken by Tithe Collectors, Valuers and Census Tak

Very true, Paddy. Henry St. starts on the right side going from the Market Square on one Census and then on the left side in the other. It is necessary to find 'anchor residents' - e.g. Brews, Carmodys and Crottys. In the case of the Market Square - 1901 starts at what is now Crottys Pub & B & B - t...

My apologies !! - I should have said 'DED - District Electoral Division - of Kilfiddane - this includes Killofin - which looks to be a small area - just a peninsula with the River Shannon on one side and Clonderlaw Bay on the other. Perhaps the Madigan family are just a stone's throw from Labasheeda...

Re: Martin and Mary (nee Cusack) Sexton

Thanks for that, P.J. I also see on Family Search that 'Ellen Sexton died in 1906' - Census of 1901 is wrong - shown as Mary -should be Ellen - Her husband was Michael Sexton so their daughter, Mary Sexton married Daniel Fleming in 1890 - their children included Margaret and Robert - so that would b...
