Any Gubbins' out there.

I have a few branches from Ireland. Most of my Irish ancestors came straight to Preston, Lancashire -
MCKENNA - My mothers maiden name, we have no idea where our McKenna ancestors came from within Ireland. The first McKenna to come to England was Robert, who settled in Liverpool. His son James, my great great great grandfather, moved to Leyland, Lancashire.
CALLAGHAN - My matenal great great grandmother, Mary Ann Callaghan, was born in Dublin in 1863. Her family came to Preston, but we know very little. Her father could have been an Andrew or a James or had both names and came from Dublin probably. Her mother was called Mary Alice, as far as I know, and probably came from County Longford.
SCOWCROFT - My 4x great grandfather (grandfather of the man who married Mary Ann Callaghan - Mary herself was the mother-in-law of James McKenna's grandson) John Scowcroft was supposedly born in Ireland c1811, and came to Preston. There is a theory that his father was an English soldier, and his mother may have been Irish.
MURRAY - My 5x great grandparents James and Bridget Ellen Murray were both born in Meath in 1804 and 1814 respectively. They had quite a few children and moved to Preston, Lancashire. My 4x great grandmother was their daughter Bridget. James and Bridget are buried in the local Catholic church, just a few hundred metres from where I live, and I went to see their grave when I first found out.
BROWN and NICHOLSON - My 4x great grandmother Ann Brown was living in Preston when she married Edward Nicholson. Ann was from Tipperary and Edward was from Westport, Mayo. Little is known about them before their marriage, although I do know that Edwards father was a Patrick, who was born c1791 in Westport.

Most of my relatives have the "Black Irish" appearance of dark hair, fair skin adn blue eyes.

I used to work with an Irish lady who had flame red hair.
She always said that she wasn't true Irish as they had ''coal black hair''.
She sounded true Irish to me though.

Agree with Christopher that this thread will probably cause confusion and would be better if people posted separate topics under appropriate board.

I agree with Mab. What does it matter, I only have a slight interest at present and only occassionally look at the Irish board. I do look at the lighter side, TOT all the time, and it is just as interesting as some of the "Rubbish" no offence meant, on these boards.

I was feeling a bit foolish for posting.... but then again I'm really intrigued to see who is stuck too, with whom and where from (oh yes I know... Ireland... ooops  )
Its partial curiosity and hope that I'll get to the other side of my brick wall....
But then again if EVERYONE with Irish ancestors posted... well it would be a pretty big thread ;-)

I'm stuck on my Irish lot - Peter Leedom who was born somewhere in Ireland c. 1810, probably Dublin - he was a silk dyer and living in Macclesfield in 1841 with his family and an 80 year old called Mary Leedom, who may have been his grandmother - she seems a bit old to be his mother. As they seem to have come to England in the 1830s they miss the Griffiths Valuations. He could write so I know that Leedom is "correct" so to speak, but there are precious few of them in Ireland and I can't link them in, and its a name that can end up being spelt so many different ways 
Irish genealogy is very frustrating!

His grandfather told me that Liverpool was the capital of Ireland and I believed him 
......so maybe all the lost Irish are there
