Hello Debbie, I have a modern Ordnance Survey map of Cork City which shows both Princes Street and Warburton Villas. The latter now on Lough Road rather than The Lough. You should be able to order in the relevant part of the 1901 census at your local LDS Family History Centre. If you are not sure of the location of your nearest one you will be able to find it listed on the LDS website < http://www.familysearch.org> In my experience you will need the District name or number which, if you have a birth,marriage or death certificate of the time, where the event took place in the area you are seeking, the district will be identified on it. If not, maybe another more knowledgable list member will be able to tell you how to find it. This is needed to identify which part of the census you need. Good luck Sandra > My grandfather, Herbert Frederick CRUWYS, was a tailor. He lived in Cork > from > about 1914 to 1939 when he returned to England with his family.

Hi all, Some of you may not have seen already the site below. Very interesting to listen to actual people talk about emmigration/emigration to/from Ireland. On page two of the interviews is a link to a number of older Cork people talking about their lives and the effect of emigration on them and their families. You have to have Real Player installed in your PC to be able to listen to the taped interviews with each person. Some interviewees are from other provinces, other than Munster, and from other counties in Munster - but all in all great stories. Click also on the 1950s Link, and then the link Reminiscences. The Summaries link on the top of the page, gives a bit of information on each interview. http://migration.ucc.ie/oralarchive/testing/breaking/index.html Regards Jill Williams
