Hi There

You have posted this on the Galway board ?

Is there a reason for that ?

It sounds familiar as well, have you had help with this family before ?

I have posted this on the Galway Board because according to the 1891 census for Cross Street, Northwich, Cheshire Patrick is shown as
Patrick Hughes    Head Married Male 54 1837 General Labourer Ireland, Galway, Ireland
Bridget Hughes    Wife    Married Female    52 1839 Ireland, Galway, Ireland
Kate    Hughes    Daughter    Single Female 19 1872 General Domestic Servant Northwich, Cheshire,
I also have attestation papers in 1882 for son Patrick Hughes born 1862 and he states that he was born in Galway.

I am trying to find the Patrick & Bridget in Galway before they moved to Cheshire in the 1860's so that I can find out the parents of Patrick Hughes Snr.

Also, this is not my family, I am helping a friend, neither of us has posted about this family before

Are you SURE that Bridget's surname was Fahy / Fahey ?

Was Bridget still alive in 1911 by any chance as that census sometimes gives townlands in Ireland under 'place of birth' !

I can't find a death for Bridget Fahey but her daughter Bridget Hughes died in Fleetwood Lancashire 1901.

I will have a look in the burials for Fleetwood and see if I can find any information on her.
