Edward Woods died in 1901 in Oswego, New York. His obit says that he is from Tipperary. I believe that 5 Woods siblings lived in Oswego. In the 1860 US Census for Ward 2 of the City of Oswego, the census taker, G. W. Harman, included extra info in the birthplace column. Normally there would only be country for foreign borns.
For Edward and many others in that census, their birthplace looks like some variation of Duprane or Dupraire or Dupain Ireland. In 2 instances, Duperane or Duprain is preceded by “Co” (for County?). I have listed below everyone in G. W. Harman’s district who was born in Duprane, etc. I have attached a sample page from the census.
Name Age Birthplace
Patrick OGorman 36 Duprane or Dupraire or Dupain Ireland
Patrick Woods 30 Duprane or Dupraire or Dupain Ireland
James Doughin 30 “
*Margaret “ 33 “
*Anna Hogan 20 Duprane or Dupraire Ireland
*John Woods 23 Duprane or Dupraire Ireland
Bridget Stuart 38 Co Duperane Ireland
Mary Broderick 19 Dupraine Ireland
*Patrick Woods 31 Co Duprain or Duprane Ireland
Mary “ 29 "
Ann “ 9 “
*Edward Woods 26 Duprain Ireland
*Probable siblings – obit for Edward Woods indicates that he is from County Tipperary, Ireland
Any ideas where these folks were born? Any knowledge of the Woods family?
THANK YOU,
Dennis Hogan

Hi Dennis,
I think the census taker was writing something that sounded like "Dup-rairi," which is what he heard when "Tipperary" was said with an Irish accent.Patricia

This could possibly be the Ann in the 1860 census, and her parents. Note one of the sponsors is a Hogan, which is a name on the census.
