1911 Census Fun

The 1911 Census is a treasure trove for Dubliners interested in their roots.

I can now account for the whereabouts of all 4 of my grand parents, and two great grandparents on the night of April 2nd 1911. (I'm a true blue Dub alright)

Daniel and Maryanne Dunne were staying with relatives in Reginald Street, in the Liberties.
John Barnes and his mother Ellen were at Parnell Place (near Harold's Cross bridge), while my Granny Barnes (ne้ Fallon) was based in Clontarf.

I also discovered http://www.dublinheritage.ie, which records the marriage ( I think) of my great grandmother Eliza Richardson of Beaver Row Donnybrook, to my great grandfather John Dunne in 1857. Eliza Richardson had been baptized into Catholicism the year before according to the site.
