Comments about this page
I would love to know how the plot designations in Griffiths correspond to the houses in the 1901 census. Luke Coyne (died 1890) was my 2nd great grandfather. His daughter Sarah was married to Michael Malia and their son Peter was my grandfather. I suspect that Luke’s son Richard took over as the tenant in the house where Luke formerly resided. Bridget, Luke’s wife, lived until until her death in 1902 with Michael and Sarah Malia.
