@npub12dp…rpxf @npub1y57…zjag It sounds wonderful but a little flighty

@npub12dp…rpxf @npub1y57…zjag I think Patricia Hughes posits that WB Yeats was the father (seems pretty unlikely; Yeats was famous for keeping it in his pants) https://www.academia.edu/15178196/Who_Killed_Honor_Bright_How_William_Butler_and_George_Yeats_Caused_the_Fall_of_the_Irish_Free_State

@npub12dp…rpxf @npub1y57…zjag From the date, if this is our girl, it sounds as if she fled home when pregnant, got a job in Dublin and then when she gave birth had no other choice than whatever she could make however she could get it

@npub12dp…rpxf @npub1y57…zjag I wonder if this is Honor Bright's child - where's Bunne Kerry, Carlow?

I think this Lily O'Neill might be "Honour Bright", the girl killed by Dr Patrick Purcell http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Rathmines___Rathgar_East/Strand_Cottages/44752/ (Here's Purcell's marriage record in 1920) @npub1y57…zjag

@npub12dp…rpxf What baffles me about this lad, though, is that I can't find him *afterwards*. One minute he's acting envoy to America, the next **poufff**

@npub12dp…rpxf Here's his mother; maybe he was abroad in school or working; by 1916 he was a typing teacher in the Leinster Schools http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Rotunda/Gardiner_Street__Upper/32921/

@npub12dp…rpxf I've actually found him in the 1901 census - I was looking for Joseph Patrick Begley in 1911, north Dublin lad, would've been around 18 (I found him in 1901 through his mother's name)

@npub12dp…rpxf Not working like that either

Dammit, how do you search for a partial name on the 1901 and 1911 #census? I've tried T* and T?
