Seeking info or possible sources of info on above Rev William DANCY/DANCEY. I have his parents (William & Elizabeth Dancey of Co Cavan), & I have his marriage (1889 Santry, Dublin, to Alice Elizabeth CLARKE). From various directories, & the 1901 Irish census I have Rev Williams 3 children - Ethel Alice b about 1894 in Co Derry, Frances JM - (female) b about 1891 in Co Derry, & Francis JM (male) b about 1898 in Co Tyrone. (There may have been other still births/early infant deaths)
But I can't find William, Ethel or Frances in the 1911 census (Alice E is in Dublin & Francis JM is in boarding school). And I have tried using wild card searches in case the name is mis- transcribed).
There is some family speculation that Rev William had mental health problems & the family split up with Rev William possibly being in an institution for some time.
Any one have any suggestions as to where/how I might demolish this brick wall?
Thanks
