Irish 1911 Census Showing Goldfoot

David K. Lenten, genealogist in Ireland, sent us information showing several Goldfoot families on the Irish 1911 census. Supposedly the census was done by 2 April 1911. I think him very much as I haven't seen this information on ancestry.com as yet.

GOLDFOOT



The first group David sent to us were living in Dublin in Wood Quay County on Victoria Street. They turned out to be the family of Denise and Ian Goldfoot. They were Hyman 43, a jeweler, wife Blume 39, Annie 17, Janie 12, Abraham 10, Louis 8, Solomon 6 and Isedor 4. They were all born in Dublin, Ireland. Denise writes that Annie was known as Nadia. Janie was really Jennie. Solomon was Denise and Ian's father.



There was an Abraham age 60 living in Cork, Ireland in Cork #1 Urban county on 42 Grand Parade Street. He was born in Russia, listed as married but the information did not show a wife living with him. He was a dentist. He lived with a boarder, John Bakely age 47. He was also a dentist, married with no wife on the list and was born in America. He was of the Church of England. The Parish they lived in was Holy Trinity.



Also living in Cork, Ireland was George but in Cork #6 Urban county on South Mall Street. He was only 30 years old and was born in Liverpool, England. He was a dental surgeon. He had a servant living with him, Daniel Shanhan age 17 from Cork City who was a Roman Catholic. I wonder if George was the son of Abraham being they lived in the same city and were of the same profession.



In Dublin, Ireland in the county of Fitzwilliam living on Harcourt Street lived Jacob and his cousin Arthur. Jacob was 25 years old and Arthur was 18. Jacob was a dental assistant and Arthur was a dental apprentice. Both were single.

Living in Antrim in Clifton County on #27 Hillview Street was Morris 42, a General Draper, with wife Sarah, 36, and children Rachel 13, Bertha 12, Isaac 10, Barney 9, Esther 7, Gerty 5, Louie 3 and Rosie 2. Morris and Sarah were born in Russia. They had been married for 14 years, making that 1897 when they married. All the 8 children were born in Dublin.

This accounts for 22 Goldfoot people who were living in Ireland in 1911 that were on the census.

We know from past accounts of our history that Goldfoots came from Lithuania. They went to England and then some went onto Ireland. Some even went to Wales. Dentistry was very popular in the family.
