	Does the 1891 census give a place of birth for him? This is usually the best clue.

Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 24 Send Message	hi Michael, My relative is named in 1881 census and place of birth says Ireland. I do not know whereabouts in Ireland or when he came here. It is very frustrating.
