He was my grandad's father, and all I really know for definite is that he was born in South Dublin City and that he was a wire worker. I believe I may have found him and his family on both the 1901 and 1911 census. On the 1911 census he is 36 and a bachelor, but I know that at some point in the years ahead he married a woman named Catherine Scully and had three children, one of whom was my grandad (Stephen Stacey, born in 1923). Both George and Catherine died when my grandad was quite young, but I have no idea when this was because he rarely mentioned them. According to the 1901 census, George's parents were Joseph Stacey and Bridget Hand, but trying to find a birth record has been confusing since the ages don't match up to the census, so there must be a transcription error somewhere. I did find both George and Catherine on the 1939 electoral register for Dublin City, where they were living at 19 Great Longford Street. That is as far as I have got. I would love to find a marriage record and find out when they both died, but I haven't been able to find anything online, and unfortunately no one in the family has any idea where either of them are buried. My grandad died in 2002 so it's a shame nobody thought of asking him while he was alive. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful. I know the rest of the Stacey family would love to have more information on my grandad's parents. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
