In 1890 (at their marriage) George and Margaret were living in Boola, Templemichael, Waterford. In 1894 (at the birth of George) they were living in Park, Cork.
The March 31, 1901 Census gives George's age as 36.
The Irish 1911 Census (April 2nd) record gives George as being 45. At the time the family was living at house number 3 in Ballycondon Commons (Templemichael, Waterford)
GREENSLADE, George, Servant, Single, M, 15, 1866, Farm Servant (Indoor) Cheriton Fitzpaine Devon
This George is given in the UK 1871 (April 2nd) Census as "George B. Greenslade, age 4, Cheriton Fitzpaine" (George's name in his birth record is George Bamsey (note that the family had another George who lived 1859-1863)
This George, born in Cheriton Fitzpaine, had a father William Greenslade (born 1822) and mother Charlotte (born 1828). William is given in George and Margaret's marriage record as a farmer. In the 1871 Census he is given as an agricultural labourer.
Note that the evidence tying George to the Greenslade family in Cheriton Fitzpaine is that George's marriage record shows his father to be a farmer named William, that (from Irish Census records) George would have been born around 1865-66 and that family tradition says that George came from around Exeter, England. The 1871 UK Census shows only two George Greenslades of the appropriate age who have a father William, one George is 7, born in Bath, Somerset who was living in Bampton, Devon, and the other George is 4, who was born and lived in Cheriton Fitzpaine, Devon. The 7-year-old from Bath can be eliminated as a possibility because his family in the 1871 and 1881 Census shows that by the 1881 Census his mother Mary was a widow, yet in the 1890 Irish marriage record of George Greenslade and Margaret Leahy, George's father, William, is not shown as deceased but as a farmer. Also George Greenslade from Bath appears in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses as living in Newport, wales, and having a wife, Annie, and children. And with the advent of DNA analysis, the link to the Devon Greenslades has been proved. DNA analysis predicted a 4th cousin relationship between Michelle Lee Falconer (b. 1969), the great-granddaughter of William Howard Greenslade (via Irene May Greenslade (1921-1988) who married Lionel J Brading in 1941, and their daughter Linda J Brading (b. 1947) who married Charles J Falconer in 1967) and John Doyle (George Greenslades great-grandson), their closest common ancesters being William Greenslade (1822-1898) married to Charlotte Bamsey (1828-1884).
There is a Jeremiah Greenslade listed in the Civil Registration Deaths Index: Apr-Jun 1913, Death Age: 6, district: Youghal, v.4, p.572 *get copy*. Was he related? (there was no Jeremiah Greenslade listed in Ireland in the 1911 Irish Census)
See Notes (at end of page) as to other possible Leahy family members.
The March 31, 1901 Census gives her age as 10. The 1911 Census lists Helena Greenslade as age 21, born in Co. Cork, a servant to David and Alina Walsh on a farm at Ballyneague, Ardhagh [a little west of Templemichael, about 6 miles NW of Youghal]
Her niece Pauline Hennessy (daughter of George) said that she died in 1918 of the flu and that she had a child, Jimmy, by her husband Neddie Sullivan and that after her death Neddie married her aunt Bridget (sister of Margaret Leahy) and together they raised the child. But did Margaret have a sister Bridget?
Note that there are births recorded in Youghal of James Sullivans in 1911, 1913, 1914 and 1918.
civ reg birth index record: JAMES SULLIVAN on 17 August 1918, Group Registration ID 1536947, SR District/Reg Area: Youghal, Sex: Male, Mother's Birth Surname: GREENSLADE

His wife was Catherine HICKEY. Margaret was known as "Peggy". Margaret's birth record: civ reg births index: Margaret M Greenslade, Mother's Surname: Hickey, Date of Registration: Apr-Jun 1934, district: Dungarvan, v.4, p.375
Ireland Civ Reg Index also lists: George Greenslade, Mother: Hickey, Birth: Mar 1935 - Dungarvan. Is George a child of William and Catherine?
Ireland Civ Reg Index also lists: William Greenslade, Mother: Hickey, Birth: Jun 1938 - Lismore; Johanna Greenslade, Mother: Hickey, Birth: Sep 1940 - Lismore; Catherine M Greenslade, Mother: Hickey, Birth: Dec 1942 - Lismore; Michael Greenslade, Mother: Hickey, Birth: Sep 1945 - Lismore; Patrick J Greenslade, Mother: Hickey, Birth: Jun 1947 - Lismore.

Patrick migrated to Canada, arriving on March 30, 1924 (see record). He sailed on the S.S. Celtic leaving on March 23, 1924, 3rd class passage, his age is given as 25, single, farmer, intending to be a farmer, closest relative in Ireland is given as his mother Mary Greenslade [note he said his mother was Mary and not Margaret] at Ballinatrea, Templemichael, Youghal. His stated destination was the Winnipeg YMCA.
There is a record of Patrick Greenslade being on the crew of the S.S. "Pr. Alice" from Victoria, B.C., to Seattle on August 8, 1943 (see record). He is listed as having worked for the company for one year, being a "Nite-man", age 44, Irish, 5'6", 135 lbs. The age is exactly correct so it probably is this Patrick, especially as the name, Patrick Greenslade, is relatively rare (there are none in the 1911 Canadian Census). [The princess Alice was a "pocket liner" passenger vessel in the coastal service fleet of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Built in 1911, the company sold her in 1949.]
A "Pat Greenslade, laborer" is listed in the British Columbia voter register for 1945 at a rooming house property at 927 Main Street, Apt. 2, Vancouver Centre
