Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone might have any additional information on the family of Daniel Connors shown on the attached census return? 

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Oughterleagu…

His son William O'Connor was my great grandfather. We believe there were also Ryans in the family so possibly the daughter Johanna married someone of this name? There are no records showing in the 1911 census so I assume he passed away at some point between.

 

Many thanks.

Ursula

    Found a civil death inex record in 1905 which may be for your Daniel Connors. There was also a Johanna Connors who died in the summer of 1901. See below.

    The RC church for that area is Knockavilla and records start in 1834. On July 8th the National Library of Ireland plans to place all RC parish registers online for free searching. I would review the Knockavilla register at that time. Knockavilla is in the Diocese of Cashel and Emly.
