  • 1891 census Help

    Hi All

    Can anyone decipher the place name ticked in the were born column taken from the 1891 census. The first word is Ireland, but what is the other one.

    It looks like Goulston but I can't find a place in Ireland to match that spelling.

          mmm I see what you mean.. and I take it that they don't mention where in Ireland on any other census? do you have a marriage cert for Henry/Catherine? or perhaps a birth cert for one of the children which would give you Catherine's maiden name.

              I see from the 1861 Canadian census Henry is stated as being a Soldier, and Catherine and John are there too.



              Henry is stated to be 41 yrs of age [and is an Episcopalian]
              Catherine is stated to be 27 yrs of age [and is a Roman Catholic]
              John is 2yrs [Episcopalian]

                  Thank you Edna for your greeting.

                  I have a possible baptism of John at the Anglican Garrison. In the Quebec Drouin collection. Will try to cut and paste but not used to the site yet.

                  It reads

                  John son of Henry Clark Private in the ?? Rifles and Catherine his wife by her maiden name ?Lally or maybe Lalby.

                  Born 23 June 1859. Baptised 31 July. Sponsors Henry Clark ?? Rifles, Thomas Dickson ?? Rifles and Ann Dickson

                          after a bit of fiddling I have found it, but the writing isn't very clear...



                          if anyone else that has a WW sub can have a look it would be great! [page two at the top!]

                            Sorry i have`nt any certs but i do have Catherine maiden name as Lally/Lalley it was on my grandfathers death cert. She was my great-grandmother. I also have a copy of the 1861 Canadian Census and a copy of Johns baptism. Yes he was a lot older her.
                            What is causing me great frustration is not being able to find out where she came from in Ireland. The 1891 Census is the only one that gives a reference to where she came from other than just Ireland.

                              ahh I see, did you know there is a tree on Ancestry with him?



                              Vera said it could be Goatstown, Dublin, might be worthwhile checking that out..
