Hi Peter, does it give his birthplace? The 1901 census is available but is not online in a complete version. There are some transcriptions at: http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/index.shtml However Dublin is not included as yet. The 1901 census can be searched at LDS centres or in Ireland (National Archives) but it is not indexed so one needs to know exactly where to look. I notice that the National Archives hope to have the complete 1911 and 1901 online 'by next year' so that may be the next opportunity we have to search generally. Cheers, Patsy - New Zealand.
