Hello again Kim.Sorry I didn't get back sooner!Yes,I have already received information from the archivist with the Christian Bros. in Marino,Dublin.I unfortunately did not get as much as I had hoped and was advised to contact the Sisters of Mercy in Dublin who ran St.Patrick's in Kilkenny where my grandfather spent his formative years.They have yet to send me out anything.What's intriguing me more about the research into my grandfather's early life is his parents and where they came from!I'm finding it rather frustrating to say the least.I hope you don't mind me rabbiting on for a bit but your opinion and help would be deeply appreciated.I now know my great-grandmother's name to be Elizabeth Smith/Smyth which in itself is a headache.On her marriage certificate it is 'Smyth' and yet on her sons birth cert. and her death cert. it is spelled 'Smith'.I know her father's name was Patrick from the marriage cert. and that he was a labourer.The problem I have is, there are 6 or 7 Elizabeth Smith/Smyth's,born between 1899 & 1901,who have a father Patrick and who most were labourers.How can I pin down definitively who my real great-grandmother and great-great-grandfather is??Just one other thing - she was married in St.Mary's Pro-Cathedral in Dublin andboth she and my great-grandfather were residing in Dublin at this time according to the marriage cert.Would it be too presumptious to believe that they were both Dubliners??This is about as much as I can garner from the marriage cert. and don't really know where to go from here!!Thank you again for your time Kim and if you or any other members of the forum can be of assistance to me I would be sincerely grateful.
