This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wJT.2ACEB/663.1 Message Board Post: Have you been able to check census records for earlier years at the address you have? These might well indicate whether the place of birth was different to that given in 1881. There is a small amount of data I've discovered in London on my Donovan history web site: http://irishdons.homestead.com/donovan.html The information of these earlier census is not indexed in the same way as 1881, but if you have a good address it might be worth a check (if you haven't already!!!)
