Hi all,
Hope someone can help with this as this has been stumping me for ages now!
My 3x gt grandparents had 11 children between 1848/49 & 1865. My 3x gt grandparents names were John T Doyle & Margaret Wood who married in St Mary's Catholic Chapel, Manchester on 20th Feb 1848.
The 11 Children were Mary b1848/49, Margaret Jane b1850 (my 2x gt grandmother), Joseph b1851, Ted/Edward b1855, Elizabeth b1856, Matilda b1856, Ellen b1859, Nicholas b1859, James b1863 & Agnes b1865. Sadly Margaret died in 1865 probably as a result of the birth of Agnes.
This query concerns the children Mary, Sarah, Joseph, Ted/Edward & Ellen who are missing from home in 1861 but turn up alive & well with the rest of the family in 1871 with the exception of Mary. Unfortunately the name Mary Doyle is a rather common one & picking out any record (birth, marriage etc) about her is extremely difficult.
The family in 1861 are at 8, Blackburn St (i think that's the street name anyway!) Hulme RG9/2900/?/38. Unfortunately i don't seem to have the folio no, apologies for that! In 1871 the family are at 24, Fortune Street, Manchester. John T having remarried to 2nd wife Caroline Stringer in 1870. 1871 ref is RG10/4048/49/37.
I did have a look at the 1861 Census myself using familysearch as i have no memberships & found the following possibles (sorry no ref numbers for these!)
Edward Doyle b1854 Lancashire & residing in Oldham, Oldham below Town.
Ellen Doyle b1861 Manchester & residing in Manchester, St George.
Joseph Doyle b1852 Manchester & residing in Derby, St Alkmund.
Sarah Doyle b1850 Hulme & residing in Chorlton, Ardwick.
And 3 possibles for Mary:
Mary Doyle b1849 Manchester & residing in Manchester, Ancoats.
Mary Doyle b1849 Manchester & residing in Manchester, St George.
Mary Doyle b1850 Manchester & residing in Manchester, Ancoats.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could assist with this.
Also i have also been unable to find baptisms for any of the children, i am wondering if they may have been baptised as catholics as there parents married as catholics. If they were baptised as catholics were would i find records for such?
Any and all help with this would be gratefully received!
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards
David
