Thank you so much for posting this! Moïse le 1er Lessard ('Moses 1') was my great-great grandfather. He donated land in Flinton to the Catholic Church. His land is where St. John The Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, it's cemetery and manse now stand. His portrait is on display in the "Lessard Room" at St. John The Evangelist.

15 May 1909 was a Saturday ...

Here is Edward Fielding, 64, in the 1911 census with his surviving family.

And in 1901, when Ellen and Thomas were still alive.

From the record of Ellen Fielding's death we learn that Rossmore House is their address.

The record of Thomas's death at 22 says Appendicitis 6 days Operation 2 days.

Catherine died of TB back in 1889.

Waterford Star - Saturday 20 November 1915:

DEATH OF MR. PATRICK MURRAY. The remains were laid to rest at Kill yesterday of an old and popular citizen of Waterford in the person of Mr. Patrick Murray, Henry street. The deceased had been out on Sunday last, but was subsequently seized with illness, and passed away early on Wednesday morning. The deceased was a valued employee of the firm of Messrs. John Hearne and Son, builders, with whom he had spent the best years of his life. Possessed of great natural ability and endowed with excellent qualities of head and heart, be was genuinely esteemed by all who came in contact with him.

John Spooner A very nice and well worded death notice.

Here is Robert O'Keeffe, Marble mason, in the 1911 census. His house at 13 Michael St. is recorded as having a stable and a shed. And see what I found on Streetview, still at 13 Michael street: R. O'Keeffe & Sons still at it! (as of 2017, anyhow). I think the Location for this shot is that yard at #13. Robert lived at Michael Street until his death in 1952 aged 77, recorded as a Monumental Sculptor.

At Robert's birth in 1875, his father John is recorded as a stone cutter. John is living on Manor Street in 1901, and died there in 1904, so Michael Street was not the family home. In 1901 Robert was living in Bath St.

Here are Patrick and Ellen at home in 1911, with children Statia, Teresa, Maggie and Josephine. 21 Henry street in the census matches the modern numbering, a 3 window house in a row of similar houses: Streetview Hmm, maybe not - this Patrick is 60, should be 64?
