	Thats a good idea plus if he served in the military you get a place of birth too. My hubbys family in Liverpool all down just as Ireland in all census but I knew the father was in the Navy and found his record which showed he was from Queenstown Cork. Try National Archives online documents for military records that can be downloaded for £3.50.
