    This may be a coincidence but there is a 74 year old Mary Monks living at 7 Convent Road in 1901 with her Indian-born granddaughter Margaret. In 1911 Margaret Monks is a servant in the household of Judge David Fitzgerald. At the same time Francis Jr is the "crier to Mr Justice Fitzgerald".

    No coincidence tanoralover - they're all mine.
    I'm curious though as to how Francis and his siblings came to be working for the two Fitzgerald brothers.
    I will eventually get around to researching the brothers Fitzgerald.

    I've searched Roots Ireland for a marriage of a John Hearne and Margaret Smith (all years/ all counties) and there is just one match - a marriage in Co. Meath in 1857...

    an RC marriage from that time will probably show very little detail anyway - should show date, names of bride & groom, and witnesses. You may get addresses e.g. name of a town or townlands, but very rare to see occupations
    Just a follow up - I paid for that record this evening and it hasn't provided me with any clues. No fathers names and the witness names mean nothing either. It ties in with a record I found in the RIC records in Pearse library but I have nothing to tie it to my family tree.

    On a slightly related note I'm wondering if any of you might be able to tell me the occupation of John Monks, father of the groom on this cert, said groom being the father-in-law of Rosanna Hearne mentioned above.

    Bit of an update re the occupation of John Monks.
    His wife's death cert records that she was the wife of a plasterer.
    I don't think this helps matters.:confused:
