Does't say Master Builder though. Maybe William was a Master Builder but he couldn't find a better job than labourer at the time.

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 1,067 Send Message	The marriage that Gritty has found, could fit with the William Monk in 1871 who is in the Royal Artillery (a widower). Some of the Royal Artillery were stationed in Limerick in 1878. If I could work out how to cut and paste on this IPad, I would do so. :-(

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 2,262 Send Message	The family returned to Ireland- and William, the father, is now listed as Joseph- he was listed as William J on 1891, so most likely William Joseph? Son Joseph is not with them, which fits with him entering the Royal Artillery: 1901: Residents of a house 10 in McNamara Place (Dock Limerick Urban No. 4, Limerick) Monk Joseph 53 Male Head Roman Cathloic City of London General Labourer Monk Mary 39 Female Wife Roman Catholice Cork Monk William 21 Male Son Roman Catholice Windsor, Liverpool Grocers Assistant Monk George 17 Male Son Roman Catholice St Lukes London General Labourer Monk Mary 13 Female Daughter Roman Catholice St Michels Limerick Scholar Gornan Michael 57 Male Boarder Roman Catholice County Limerick Farm Labourer -------------------------------------------------------- 1911: Residents of a house 41 in Henry Street South (Limerick No. 5 Urban, Limerick) Monk Joseph 64 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic England City of London Labourer General - Monk Mary 49 Female Wife Roman Catholic City of Cork - Monk George 27 Male Son Roman Catholic City London England Labourer General Married 32 Years. 6 children born, 4 still living ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possible death for father: Name: Joseph Monk Estimated Birth Year: abt 1850 Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1913 Death Age: 63 Registration district: Limerick Volume: 5 Page: 261 FHL Film Number: 0101605
