Hello everyone. I would be sooo grateful if somebody could find my elusive PATRICK GALLAGHER, born approx 1856-1860, Ireland, with his wife MARY GALLAGHER, born Woolton, Liverpool, approx 1867. They were married in 1889 Garston, but don't appear to want to be found there in 1891! By the 1901 census, they were living in Salford, Manchester, with their 2 children, Mary and Christie. I only found them after many fruitless searches - I found them under Gollicker (Mary must have had a very strong scouse accent as I also found my grandfather Christopher registered under Gollaker, instead of Gallagher!). Don't know where they travelled to in 1891 but would desperately love to know, can anybody help me?? Thank you in advance. Carol

Hi Debbie Thank you for your offer! Enjoy your beauty sleep! Best wishes Carol

Hi Carole, I found Patrick 30 Mary 28,Esther Mary 8 days(ahh bless)and mary McMahon aboarder 19 all living at 27 walmsley Street thats in L'Pool 5 hope its what you are looking for Kathleen

Kathleen!! Thank you, thank you, that sounds very promising, could you please give me full details (i.e. everything!) Best wishes Carol

only other details are Patrick was a dock labourer,and Mary McMahon was a hawker if I was one of those clever types who can download the page and email it to you I would but I wouldnt have a clue how to do it have only been using pc since may & Im soo slow.What is interesting is Mary McMahon, my g grandmother was a McMahon and I think she had a sister Mary they came from Ireland and lived in same area she was also a hawker sorry I cant tell you more kathleen

Thank you Kathleen for your quick responses. I don't suppose it mentions where any of the family were born? Sorry to be a nuisance. My Patrick was a dock labourer at the time of his wedding in 1889, so this is very likely. If this is my family, Esther must have died in infancy, as she wasn't around in 1901, but seeing as though they were married in 1889, and the first living child I know of was born in 1893/5, this is probably right, I can't see it would have taken 4 to 6 years for their first born to arrive. Thanks, Carol

sorry Carole. of course I should have said it says Patrick and mary b Ireland and baby born Liverpool.The birth place is often different Ive found from one census to the other with my L'Pool/Irish relatives.If I can find out how to email you the page I will really does sound like your people though and they may have dropped the Esther and called the baby Mary, Kathleen

Hello Carol I have found your family too on the 1891. If you want a copy of the image, I can e-mail it to you (I think!) If you e-mail me first, I'll send it.

Hi just a comment about emailing the page - if you pull the image up as if your going to print it then press file and then send to - you should be able to just type in email addy and hey presto hevi

Hi Suzanne Thanks for your kind offer, I have tried to email you privately, but don't know if you got the message. Would you please send me the image? Thanks and best wishes Carol
