Thread: George Sparkes, assistance with 1911 census

My Great Grand Uncle, George Sparkes, was billeted in Mulingar in 1880s with the 5th Regiment of Foot (later to become the Northumberland Fusiliers). He met his Wife in Mulingar and presumably left the army. The 1911 census shows him living in Castleknock and working as a night porter. The census returns show:-

Household Return Form A (Page 2) shows
County:- Dublin
Poor Law Union :- North Dublin
District :- Castleknock
Barony :- Castleknock
Townland :- Castleknock
No on Form B. :- 38

House & Building Return shows
Name of Landowner :- Lord Iveagh

My questions are

1.The lack of a street/road seems to indicate a small settlement built by the Landowner Lord Iveagh. Can anyone please explain his estate holdings and houses?

2. Has anyone a map showing the position of the row of houses.

3. How can I access their death records?

This and any other information which assists me in tracing his family would be appreciated.


Thanks

You can search for their deaths on the LDS pilot site, which has all deaths in the Republic of Ireland up to 1958. But obviously if the name is common you need to have some idea of when and where they died. FamilySearch Record Search

If you find an event that you think is the correct one, you can order a photocopy from GRO Roscommon for €4.
