1901 Census

The numbering system used in the censuses was the enumerators own private system and bears no relation to the address. (Indeed rural properties didn?t have house numbers, and often don?t today. The townland alone suffices).

To be absolutely sure which house the family lived in you would need to look them up in the revaluation records to get the plot number. With that you can then locate the property on Griffiths Valuation. Though the Griffiths maps and plots are on-line, the revaluation records you need are not. They are in the valuation office in Dublin.

What you can tell from the 1901 census is that the house had 5 to 6 rooms, 4 windows at the front and a roof made of slate, iron or tiles. By 1911 though, William was in a house with just 2 to 4  rooms and only 2 windows at the front. So it looks as though he moved  between 1901 & 1911. (Not uncommon with agricultural labourers. They often moved about). So it sounds as though you are looking for more than one house.

Many thanks for your swift reply it get deeper and deeper. I can go back as far as G.G'Dad's wedding 1872. Trying now to find the cemetery in the area to see if I can find anything else.

Thanks again

Hello,

my mother's family (Loughman) are all buried in Kilpatrick and I am there fairly often at the moment as we have a family reunion at the end of August. I will have a look next time. Meanwhile I attach a photo of the graveyard.
