Have you ever actualy looked at one of the original census documents - doesn't matter which year, or for which county. There are mistakes, all over the place - name spellings, parishes, even as regards the counties that parishes are supposed to be in. I guess the National Archives along with the Canadians will get what they can on line as soon as they can. FVrom what I remember, 1911 is coming before 1901 - the 1901 census is much more difficult to read - honest I've got most the 1901 census Heads of Household for Laois listed on my From Ireland website Took me an awful long time to go through the films - Gow knows how long it wil take those who are transcribing the ful census, or, if theyt can interpret the names properly!

I have the Immigrants List and the Immigration "Inspection" page copies. Catherine was "20yrs, TempleDerry? (OR TempleHarry?), Queens Co., (parents) Andrew and Catherine Both Dead, RC, Reads, 2 first cousins Anne and Mary TIERNEY in Sydney, (health) Good, Paid One Pound". The "Immigrants List" sheet says the same and adds, "Farm Servant". I assume Catherine was born c1836. I think Templederry above is more likely TempleHARRY FACT: There is an Ellen DELANEY, 22, shown on the "BEE" and the NSW records says "and sister", but I have no evidence that Catherine came with a sister. The Immigrants List mentioned above for Ellen shows "Gowran, Kilkenny" and "father dead, mother living in Sydney" so I think Catherine was not related to this Ellen. FACT: Cousins Ann (sic) and Mary TIERNEY, 18 and 20 respectively, arrived Sydney on the "ELLENBOROUGH" 1853. There is later CLARKE family history such as baptisms etc which show TIERNEY participating in baptisms etc. TIERNEY, plus PRIESTand FITZPATRICK feature often. FACT: Catherine married my GGF, Richard CLARKE, 18th November, 1863, in the RC Church, Mudgee, NSW (Cert.2413/500). No parental information or birthplaces recorded. (Mudgee was somewhat a 'frontier' gold rush region then.) According to a private history of Fitzpatrick and Tierney which I have, Catherine DELANEY's father was Andrew DELANEY and the mother Catherine CORMACK. No other details. This history says that John TIERNEY married Anne DELANEY 3 February 1823 in DUNKERRIN, Offaly, Irl. Both had died before 1853 when their 4th and 5th children went to Australia. The suggestion is that Anne DELANEY and Catherine's father Andrew DELANEY were brother and sister, hence the "2 first cousins in Sydney" for Catherine. My PROBLEM: I cannot find where Andrew DELANEY and Catherine CORMACK were married, and where Catherine DELANEY, my GGM, was born (along with all the other history). I can only assume that they lived close by the TIERNEY familes. Anne and Mary TIERNEY (and other siblings) were born BALLYDONOUGH, Kings Co. Dunkerrin, TempleHARRY, and Ballydonough seem to be coming together as the area for Catherine DELANEY's birth, and the RC church wedding of ANDREW DELANEY and CATHERINE CORMACK. Would really appreciate any assistance with this marriage of DELANEY and CORMACK, location, dates, etc, and of Catherine's baptism etc. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Later my gf also Joseph (1853 - 1910) married a Mary Josephine Murphy (1863 - !940) from some where in Laois. Her fathers name was Charles and described in her marriage cert as 'an examiner'.

My great-great grandfather, Jonathan Haslam, was born in Mountmellick, Queens County about 1796, he married about 1820s to 1835 to Mary (maiden name unknown, maybe Henesey), Mary was born about 1804-1808. Jonathan and Mary Haslam/Haslem are thought to have had several children, however, in the absence of Census Records it is not known how many children they had. Two are confirmed so far, my great grandfather, Alfred Haslam, born February 1841, Mountmellick, and William, born about 1835-37, Mountmellick. Jonathan immigrated to Canada through the Port of New York January 26, 1849; Mary, William, and Alfred immigrated mid 1850s. It is not know if they came together or if other siblings also came.
