As it is St Patrick's Day can anyone help me please find the Days of Tipperary and their ancestors

I am looking for my great great grandfather

William Day born around 1840 a metal roller and his brother

Patrick Day born around 1838 a Tailor

They were in the 1861 Census in Birmingham, England and I am trying to find their roots in Ireland

William married Margaret and her mother was Mary Keegden from Galway

Any help would be greatfully received,

Thanks a lot

Am new to this so looking for help please in Ireland

In the 1891 Census in Birmingham William Day was born in 1844 in Tipperary, wife Margaret Day was born in 1847 in Galway.

In the 1881 Census in Birmingham William Day was born in 1836, and Margaret was born in 1841

So there is discrepancy with their ages.

Thanks a lot

SARAH BROADBENT Daugh Born abt 1852 Braunston, Northamptonshire


Hi Jake

Sarah Broadbent was my grandma (Dora Gough's) granny and she moved to live in Birmingham and appeared in the 1881 census along with her husband James Gough and Sarah's mother Jane Broadbent. 

In the 1861 Census (taken on the 7th April 1861) it states that Jane Broadbent was the Head and she was a Boatman's wife - the same in 1851 she was the Head and a boatman's wife. 

Well some months after the Census, on 6th September her husband Edward Broadbent died in a tragic canal boat accident, the reports have all been reprinted on line from the Northampton paper.

So Sarah married and moved to Birmingham and her sister Elizabeth married and moved to Tipton.


One of your other posts mentions Edward Road, Balsall Heath where my Granny's brother lived for many years.
