There are census records on-line for the Dineen family in 1901 and 1911. In the first, John M. Dineen is the head of the household, with his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. There is also a sixteen year old girl, whose occupation is a domestic servant. The census records that the house was built of stone with a stone roof and notes seven outbuildings, including a stable, cow-house, piggery, barn and two sheds.

In 1911, John has died, Patrick is now the head of the household and 4 more children have been born. The younger children only speak English, evidence of the decline of the Irish language. Oddly, Patrick who was unable to read or write in 1901 now appears to able to do both.
