It's New Street which was a turning off the City Road. Not very far from St.Thomas Place. So it could very well be the right family.

Does't say Master Builder though. Maybe William was a Master Builder but he couldn't find a better job than labourer at the time.

It seems likely that both parents had died by the 1901 census

This looks like Joseph:

1901 census
Royal Artillery - Clarence Barracks (army)
Joseph Monk 18 - gunner - London Middlesex


This is from his attestation papers - dated 1898
Joseph Monk b.1883 St.Lukes, London

The marriage that Gritty has found, could fit with the William Monk in 1871 who is in the Royal Artillery (a widower). Some of the Royal Artillery were stationed in Limerick in 1878.

If I could work out how to cut and paste on this IPad, I would do so. :-(

The family returned to Ireland- and William, the father, is now listed as Joseph- he was listed as William J on 1891, so most likely William Joseph? Son Joseph is not with them, which fits with him entering the Royal Artillery:

Ooh Gritty - well done, and thanks for the 1871 census.

This all looks to be so right, BUT not once is Father William a Master Builder!
