Hello,

I am seeking information on John Hawksley Persse (my GGGrandfather). He was born in and around 1835/6-ish! (He was 65 in 1901 census)

From the Irish 1901 Census - it says he was born in Tipperary. However, he lived in Tallaght.

I believe he married Mary Anne Fenton (daughter of William) in Edgbaston Church, Birmingham in 1869.

One of their daughters Marie Louise, married Joseph Sherwin in 1900 in Dublin. They lived in Dublin and one of their son's Oswald was my grandfather(his son Derek, is my Dad).

I would love to hear from anyone who may have information on Persses of Tipperary.. I have searched but haven't come across anything. Without finding John H. Persse's parents I can't really get my tree started.. so any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks & best wishes,
