Hi Thought Id share my latest snippet. Ive got 1911 UK census and my Mary Niles nee Donnelly told the census man she was born Newbridge Wicklow Ireland! It also states resident, I presume this means that she said her permanant home was now England. Wonder why my grandad- her son never thought to tell my mam that gem- all we knew was Ireland and that he was proud of it: Saying that I wouldnt swap the fun I have had over the years, it would have been too easy to just glean it like that. Actually I think its great that even though she left Ireland aged 6 at the most, she knew where she came from. I have a record of her baptism in Avoca RC records 31 Dec 1854 but to know she knew- and called Avoca Newbridge is giving me a buzz. Now I wonder did she actually live in the village itself or a nearby townland.... By the way if you search surname and county of birth eg Wicklow on the 1911 UK census site you get everyone who was born there, may be of use to someone before you consider parting with cash? Carol
