These may not be your guys but worth looking into?

J

thank you for your search they should of been together as my granddad dad was a stone masson and built the local church in celbride were they lived and was paid well for it so they would of had their own house.

Would James (father) have died or been ill?

Have just tried browsing the census in Celbridge and I can't see any Farrells.

I might be worthwhile contacting the church and seeing if they had any records of them?

not sure but james married in 1918 in scoltland and his father was dead he lived in tea lane in celbridge in 1912 because he join the army soon after

I can't see a Tea Lane listed!? Perhaps it changed name?

John...Sorry not to have made clear PLU ...(Someone has already done so)..The PLU of Celbridge also included Leixhip Lucan and Straffon.... so although the family may have given Celbridge as place of Birth etc...you would need to determine where within the PLU they came from..however that being said there is a James Farrell wife Mary...plus family living in Commons Newtown....Eldest son James...No Kathleen/Nora....but supposed 6 children born and alive only five listed......
Which Church and when did your g.father build it in Celbridge.....?

John...Forgot to mention "Tea Lane" was the local name for Church Street..runs past the Church of St Mochuas' left bank of the River
