I wouldn't presume anything he could have been away working....

Do we presume the father died between 1836 and 1841?

Hm,

Was it fairly common place to have boarders living with the family? Also yes I do believe that the death found for Catherine is correct.

Finally think I've found them in 1901

Martin Michael 27 Head Blast Furnaceman -, Ireland No. 12 Newport Street, Stockton
Martin Mary 24 Wife -, Ireland No. 12 Newport Street, Stockton
Mcshane John 46 Boarder Blast Furnace Labourer -, Ireland No. 12 Newport Street, Stockton
Martin John 24 Brother Blast Furnaceman -, Ireland No. 12 Newport Street, Stockton
Calligan James 25 Boarder Blast Furnaceman -, Ireland No. 12 Newport Street, Stockton
Murphy Andrew 23 Boarder Blast Furnaceman -, Ireland No. 12 Newport Street, Stockton


I can't find him on 1891 so maybe best looking for him coming to England between 1891-1901

ok, I searched Mary Martin on the 1911 census used advanced put in the year of marriage as 1895 and her place of birth as Ireland and up she popped! I tried yorkshire etc first and no matches were found.Place of birth for Michael is also Ireland and he has something to do with furnaces.
Here's my search that found him

Dear Happy 2780,

I see there are other deaths between 1984 and 2005,what i do is type in deaths 1984 to 2005 into Google and it comes up with the Familyrelatives website.You can search for free.I know Charles Kevin Powley is also on there.

Good luck,best wishes with your research.....Sam

Okay Sam.
That would be North Ormesby near Middlesbrough.I lived there for a short when I got married

Don't think it's the correct Michael

Martin Michael 31 Boarder Pig Iron Blast Furnace Labourer -, Ireland 17 Beasemer Street, Ormesby

His son Edward was born 1901
