My grandfather John Raymond Roche was born on 15/4/1886 in Skeheen, County Cork. However, his birth registration in Mitchelstown on 22/5/1886 has his name as John Joseph Roche. His mother registered his birth. His parents were Thomas Roche & Bridget Roche (nee Whelan). The family was Catholic. John Roche emigrated to Australia at approximately 14 years of age. He married Margaret Cecilia Costello (DOB 16/9/1889) in 1928 in Australia. John and Cecilia had 2 sons: Thomas William Roche (DOB 9/7/1929) & Patrick Francis Roche (DOB 30/1/1931). Cecilia died on 31/5/1955. Her documents sometimes name her as Margaret Cecilia Roche. John died in Australia on 7/6/1965. All of John's documents name him as John Raymond Roche, apart from his birth registration. I would be very grateful for any further information. If possible, I would love to get an address and photo of the house he was born and raised in. The last known owners of the house were Eileen and Paddy Coughlan. I believe they are deceased. Thank you so much for any assistance you can give me.
