Damn..

I like logic and logic puzzles.
But after your 2nd attempt, it turns to pure guesswork.

Totally unsatisfying way to lose a streak

Onwards...

Very much open to correction but think I might've found Peig.

That's an absolutely rocking route

👍

Ah now way... I have mixed age 'corrections' - never thought of the pension as the reason.
Not sure if it fits in our case, but it is another angle...

And as for the amount of great and grand parents who couldn't read/write.
(1926 didn't ask that one...)

Ha ha.... Yeah, we're Dubs 'all the way back' according to family lore..... So far holding true - but there was a moment a false path led to Cork... 😱

(and yes, I can say that, now married to wife from... Cork)

😳

The horrors and joys of what we find...

1911 census has 9 members of our family in a single room.

I know they went on to have more kids, I'm afraid to look them up in 1926 as yet...

Not being a speaker is hard to give advice, but with a host of kids all gone to school through Irish - I'ld offer this;

2 dictionaries

1 - a basic school's edition for simpler translations
2 - Dinneens foclóir - for the wider depth of translation.

As simple as it sounds, I hadn't thought of that. Just as the OP mentioned, I've gone through spelling variations.
Now just to work out what the Irish translation is 😕

Also, have spelling mistakes galore on both 1901 and 1911, so expecting that to be honest...

A different feel to the newest Census release. The scans are so so clean, easier to read in the cases I've looked at.
Maybe not as much information as expected.

2 Searches for tonight;
1 not found
1 found at unexpected address - with a new Grand-Aunt I hadn't known of.

Very excited to explore this census.
My Parents not yet born
My Grandparents not yet married.

I have a lot of information as to where the Great grandparents were in 1911, so let's see who done what.

One G-GP moved into Keogh Barracks/square. Now I get to find out when.

Burner phone...

It's one of those things you know is in English, just a different English.

I can speak all all the words but haven't a fibonacci clue what it means....

Fair dues to those that do.

Seeing #SnaG26 #SeachtainNaGaeilge posts prompted me to look back through my #IrishLondonHistory☘️ research for evidence of Irish being spoken in London's past.

They were de-loused before being allowed within the Pale...

I woke up this morning.

That's it, that's the news.
I'll get on with my day, knowing the President of the United States needs to be removed.

That's it.

Get on with the day.

He’s a psychopath and we know he’s really would love to do it but he won’t. It’s just a bullying tactic and shows he’s desperately losing.

The President of the United States openly declaring mass genocide.

Somebody needs to shut this fucker up. Permanently.

He openly calls for genocide.

When he is a coward.
Call his bluff
Call him a coward

But stop the bullshit of listening to him

Agnes Mary Clerke was an Irish astronomer born in Skibbereen Co Cork and she has a crater imon the moon named after her

I had to re-read that, thinking I purposefully didn't mention m/f about the aged 12 marriage, then I copped, oh the missionary... 😂😂😂

Lucky he didn't switch to Latin just to show off 😎😂

That's a brilliant twist.
👏👏👏

I still struggle with the "cannot read or write" and 'X' His/her mark.. Which makes spellings of names sometimes a challange when searching... Having to that in German would be next level 💯👏

I love the walking the same streets and trying to imagine their lives... Yet impossible.
Top 3 finds so far:

1. Married aged 12 ("legal 1893)
2. Born in a workhouse
3. Married from and within the Monto

Swear to Lord, not sure if I *want* to imagine...

I'm a year into family history search, have managed with 1901/1911 as well as other sources, but still am really looking forward to this one, to close some questions.

The sense of achievement finding a missing data piece... Addictive.

👍👍👍

So much 'modern' poetry to my ears is just advanced prose.
Sometimes beautiful to read, sometimes difficult, but prose falling short of being a short-story.
Maybe a new genre of poetry or prose classification is needed.

I definitely fall into the old school of preferring rhyme and rhythm (metre)
