I know Irish history is harder to research, so I hope someone can help with directing me.
My grandparents were: Susan Devlin (b 1908 Dublin, d 1953 Hillingdon). I have found her on the 1911 Dublin census, and her family in 1901. Her mother was also called Susan.
And: James Joseph Dempsey (b 1903, d 1981 Hillingdon). I haven't found him on the census, although he was definitely Irish, and my mum thought he always lived in Dublin. His mother name was Elizabeth.
My grandparents were both staunch Catholic, and got married in church in Dublin, around 1930-31.
They had a daughter, named Elizabeth in 1933 (now deceased). Prior to this they had a daughter named Susan who only lived three weeks, so I'm using this information to estimate the time of marriage.
They went on to have 6 more children (all born in the Rathmines area of Dublin, some still living), before moving to Wales around 1946, then onto England in 1947.
My grandad was in the British army as a young man, and rejoined during world war 2. I would also appreciate any information on how to obtain his military records.
Thank you in advance
Denise
