Did the census include service personnel, I don't think the English and Welsh 1901 census included service personnel in barracks or aboard ship.


Yes, the Irish census did include barracks, but only residents' initials. Would he have lived on the ship or in Queenstown itself? There was a 21 year-old M. D. who was resident in what could have been a barracks. I noticed the mix of religions. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/190.../Westbourne/1139072/

Don't know where he would have lived, he was 25/26 in 1901. Perhaps he was on a training voyage at sea?

I think you may well have the answer there, or in port outside of Ireland.
