Find Living Relatives

In order to complete our family tree we are trying to find out if there are any descendants of Owen and Maggie Matthews who lived at 3 Robinson st, Preston in 1911. The children there in 1911 were Annie, Margaret, John (my father), Owen, Josephine, James, Frank and Wilfred. Owen (senior) was born in Dundalk, Ireland and was a labourer on the dredgers. Maggie was born in Liverpool. Any help would be much appreciated. :-)

Have you done any research?

Have noted ,rather late!, that daughter Annie was born in Ireland so maybe Owen & Maggie married there too

Am I missing something here - Reggie has found the mmn from the Lancashirebmd site, which transcribes it for many of the parishes. WARBURTON

No I missed it flip.
Didn't realise the significance of the Warburton. Thought it was an area :-(

Elizabeth clearly didn't see ANY of the info..................

Shirley maybe you weren't missing something, I was rather doubtful about the birth posted for Frank (wrong year) and Grace Mary as they claim not to have lost any children in 1911.

If this is their Owen (Humphrey) posted by Reggie, then the mmn is Cronan

I'll check out the other children on 1911 and see if any more are possibly born with the same mmn
