Hi, thanks for your posting. Could you please post the address for the second posting and the relationship to James Gallacher. Her age is correct. Many thanks

Hi, I wonder if it might help if we look for Margaret McGrath in 1891. Her birth was registered in 1879 at Chorlton & as I mentioned she is on the 1881 with her grandparents @ 74 Bennett Street Ardwick Manchester. Hopefully she might be with her parents in 1891 (Michael & Mary Ann) Thanks

I can only see one record for a Margaret Mcgrath on the 1891 census that more or less fits. ???
Living at 19 Maskell Street, Manchester, Chorlton.
Thomas Wilson    29
Maria Wilson    28
William Wilson    1
Maria Jenkins    63
Margaret W Grath 13 Born Rochdale Domestic Servant.
Looking at the image I think it could be McGrath rather than Garth. I have  searched the 1881 census for a Margaret W Garth and can't see anyone of that name.

Thank you for looking. Rochdale I see is Manchester so you well could be right. Thanks so much.

I have updated my previous post but Michael is down as son-in law to the Gallaghers.

This looks like his marriage

Michael MCGRATH and Mary A GALLAGHER  in 1870 at Manchester Register Office or Registrar Attended
