Can anyone help me find the birth of John Donovan in Manchester. The family lived in the Salford area, John married Amelia nee Evans, children were William H, John, Alfred, Joseph, Thomas, Maggie, Mary and Helen. John was a steeplejack per 1891 census and also 1901. There were many born circa 1848 but am trying to track him down, his fathers name was also John. Would be grateful for any info whatsoever. Thanks

Inchamore.
This is a hard one (good job He was'nt a 'SMITH')  
Just in case You hav'nt already found it, You can view their 1881 Census on:
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/
were Johns occupation is given as 'Slater'

Hi
All the Donovans that fit that I can see in 1861 seem to be born in Ireland, not Lancashire.
But how about RG9/ 3026?
John & Mary Donothan, 49 & 48?
Both silk weavers, both born Middleton with children John & Mary, 15 & 17, both factory hands born Middleton?
Best wishes

Hi Again,
Cannot find John in 1851
In the 1855 Directory there is only one John Donovan listed, a labourer, living at 31 Every St, Ancoats, this maybe the John the father. I have no access to the 1851 for Ancoats, but maybe somebody will see this and check on Ancestry.
Good Luck
Dave

Hi Inchamore
I've been looking back over this. Is the marriage to Amelia a second marriage? Do you know the date of their marriage?
I looked at 1891, and Amelia is only 31 but the oldest child William is 22. There's also a five year gap before John - easily explained, but it made me look closer.
In fact she could barely have been John's mother.
[Entry on link above and search is:
John Donovan 43, and wife Amelia, 31,
William son 22, John son 17,
Alfred 15, Thomas 12,
Mary 3.
All born Lancashire, Salford.
Have they married between Thomas and Mary?
Best wishes
Emms
Modified: Ah, error, she was 31 in 1881, too! but the rest of the entry may be a bit off, too! I'm not deleating it. Someone will have seen it and say so!

Hi Inchamore and Dave
Thank you for the extra info.
I've been trying to follow through the Every street entry. I've not found him so far, but Ancestry has stopped puttiing up images again.
I'll have another go some time.
Best wishes
