Could anyone help me with this, so i’ve found george sayers on the 1901 census with his children and a niece and grandchildren but im trying to connect which one of his children is the parent of his grandchildren and i can’t seem to find the record with any familiar names of his children on birth records to these grandchildren, i have attatched the census link below, thanks

This may be Samuel Gilkeson’s birth in 1899:
He’s missing from the family home in the 1901 census which would allow him to be in Inishative.

Is this Samuel back home in Ballymacall in 1911:

Sayers was the mother's maiden name so that hopefully explains the family connection. Margaret Gilkison nee Sayers, was presumably George Sayers sister.
Why is he down as George’s grandson if it was his sisters grandson?
Sorry, minor mistake. Margaret Gilkison was George Sayer’s daughter, not his sister. Her marriage here gives her father’s name:

1881 marriage between James Doran & Catherine Sayers. They seem to be the parents of Elizabeth Doran in the 1901 & 1911 censuses.
