1926 Census Derreentigue

1926 census just came out today, released after 100 years!
Things have certainly changed in Derreentigue for the O'Grady/Grady/Gready family!



From a full house in the 1911 census, it is now just Thomas and Maria and John Harte, 'visitor', likely Bridget's son:


And all of Derreentigue is just a few families:

James Raftery here is likely related to Finola (cousin).
Patrick McNeill here is likely related to Sean McNeill (cousin).
Bernard Kelly ... 

It feel good to be researching again!
Like Chief in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest": "I've been away a long time"
