Biography

The 1901 Ireland census finds 31 year old Edward and 29 year old wife Mary living in Dublin.^[3] Edward was a commercial traveller in the beer trade, and they lived on North Portland St. They belonged to the Church of Ireland, and no children are shown in the home at that time.

The 1911 Ireland census shows the Parnell couple have moved to Gardiner St, and still have no children.^[4] Wife Mary now reports she is Roman Catholic, and was born in county Galway. There is now reported to be 4 years difference in age, rather than the 2 years shown in 1901, so consider these approximate.
