Good afternoon, I have been trying to track my Grandfather, who I now suspect was born in Ireland, his fathers name was also William. Grandfather was born 14th May 1859 but I have no idea of his mother's name. Is there anyone who has access to any Irish records ? Probably Dublin area. Thanks for your time

I know he was married before he married my Grandmother Annie Teaster in February 1913 but prior to that ,no.
My mother's name was Elizabeth May and her brother's name was Henry Wilson Eliot

I still can't see him on the 1911 census.

Christine Report 30 Aug 2015 15:54

Yes Henry was born a couple of months after they were married (lol)
I don't think the Monmouth one is right as there has been no mention of Wales in the family, only a possible link to Ireland.
