I am trying to locate details of my great grandfather William Flynn. According to 1901 census he was born Queens County around 1843 and was married to Mary Gaffney. In 1901 they lived at 25 Sullivan Street, Arran Quay Dublin and at the time had 6 children, the youngest being my grandfather William Edward Flynn who emigrated to the UK and married in 1921. I have no idea what parish William (elder) was born in but all the children where born in Dublin. I cannot find his and Mary Gaffneys marriage so I am stuck to know where to look next. I have found that his father was Thomas Flynn and his mother was Norah. 

There was family talk of an Auntie Eileen and she may have been a younger daughter born before he died in 1906.  Any help would be appreciated
