The census of 1901 shows Patrick aged 9 living at home with his parents Michael and Ellen and his siblings Ellen, Bernard, Honor, Maggie and Anne. The children range in age from 17 down to 6. The two eldest children are working on the farm while the younger four are at school. All of them can read and write and speak Irish and English

The census of 1911 shows Patrick (now 17) living at home with his parents and his sister Maggie

Michael and Ellen have been married for 41 years and have had 12 children, one of whom has passed away

There is no mention of Maggie's twin sister Anne, and I cannot find her elsewhere in the census, so it looks as though she is the one who has unfortunately passed away

The marriage certificate shows Patrick (35 and a farmer) and Bridget (25 and a farmer's daughter) getting married on the 20th of June 1927 in Bawnboy, Co Cavan.

Bridget's residence is given as Glangevlin, which is about 11.5 km from Gubaveeney

Patrick's father is Michael, also a farmer.

Bridget's father is John Maguire, also a farmer.
