Sean D@BeebsyMcA Neither were we, but we increased our ranking from 186 to 169, so we must have been busy at home. :)
Donncha Ó Caoimh@BeebsyMcA nice. My surname as Gaeilge isn't in the 1901 census but it's in 1911. The English version is widespread in both, though centered around Cork.

Ciarán Ferrie@donncha @BeebsyMcA the original spelling of my surname leaves me with little doubt of the family origins. My great grandfather came from that very dark red bit in Northwest Donegal
@donncha @BeebsyMcA I should say "the original anglicisation" rather than the original spelling.

The Cunninghams move around a bit.
The mother's side of the family, not so much.

David Maher@BeebsyMcA Maher in 1901 looks not unlike a shotgun wound centred on Kilkenny.
The rest of them are not on the map as they were in Liverpool or Tasmania.
Either wanderers or antisocial. The jury is still out on that one...🤔
@davidmaher920 Ha ha! Perfect description.
