I am trying to find information on my great grandfather, Nicholas Rous. He gave his place of birth on the 1911 Census as Malahids Co Dublin and was aged 57 then so born around 1854.
His father on his marriage certificate in 1893 was given as Thomas Rous.
Thankyou for any advice as to how to proceed.
