Dear Kate, Thank you for this information on the house and building censuses for the Ellis estate at Magherymore for 1901 and 1911. You are right, Thomas and Sarah would have been living in the area much earlier than these dates and Sarah would have become Sarah Cullen by then also. In any case, it's good information for the list and who knows, they might have had other children I'm not aware of who worked on the estate and might have showed up on the census. I'm thinking that while Thomas might have worked on the estate at one time, he might have lived offsite. You mentioned having some scanned photos circa 1954. I would love to see what it looked like then if you don't mind sending them to me offlist. Thank you for your interest, Kate. With yours and Cara's help and advice, I have a few ideas on how to revive my Irish research. Bye for now, Sheila J. <snip> I'm not sure that I can be much help from the dates you've estimated. The copies I've just received, via my husband's aunt, are for the 1901 and 1911 census. I also have a copy of the details put together for the sale of the estate in 1954 which include some photos and lists of all the different buildings etc. Let me know if you'd like scans of any of this.
