Just to bring this thread back up to the top, I'll post this PM from Stephanie:

"Thanks for your help. How are you doing finding cousins etc. It is difficult to find children, where do I search, what documents, I have looked on some.

Regards Stephanie"

Unfortunately I can't see records of any of the rest of the family, at least not with enough info to identify them as the right people.

It's a subscription site, and I don't have a subscription to it.

I am researching The King family.

Joseph King born 1861 married to Mary Gordon Dunn born in 1864. I think they were born in Paisley.

I am looking for offspring of the sons and daughters.

James King born 1893, Christy King 1895, Richard 1899 May 1901 John King 1904 and Joseph King 1911.

I am looking for their children.


in the 1911 census they were in County Cork
