Ann McLoughlin and William Taylor
« on: Thursday 04 June 15 22:42 BST (UK) »
If any one can help please with info on Ann McLoughlin and a William Taylor both born somewhere in Ireland about 1821, they sometime after came to England to settle in Prescot Merseyside, where they started a family. first born was Arthur Taylor born May 1842, who married Margaret Appleton, then daughter Mary who later married Cornelius Chapman, A son William Taylor no idea who he married, a son George who moved to Manchester and married a Margaret ?,
lastly daughter Ellen Taylor who married  Michael Crosson.
I do have a lot of the children, grandchildren except William (son),   parents died after 1891 census but don't have exact dates or where buried.
Irelands a big country they didn't help me by giving a county and i havent come across any brothers or sisters or parents, I've no idea when they came over to England so its a 20 ish years window.
I know its probaly a tough ask but I live in hope, to be able to trace them back to the Emerald Isle.

Very difficult, if not impossible, without more details like a location (parish if not actual townland, not just the name of a county). Have you found a marriage record for them yet?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

No more Info they obviously didn't want to make my life easy :)
so I don't know if they were married or not,  but ssh don't tell anybody  :)
but it was worth a try,
 I've gone back on the surname Mcloughlin thou, which is very interesting and found a place in Donegal I'd love to visit It'll feel as though I'm walking in my ancestors footsteps

McLaughlin is one of the most common surnames in Donegal/Londonderry.

hi thank you agadowey
so is the spelling supposed to be with the A instead of the O in McLoughlin so it should really be McLaughlin, they are all the same family?

thank you conahy, its great more and more sites are setting up for Irish links, I'll go have a browse, Maybe fingers crossed I may find them one day  :)

sorry if my answering someones question has offended it was never my intention, I only came on the site in the hope someday someone will be able to help. please delete any wrongly placed as I'm a novice and still finding my way round.

And no not got a marriage certificate perhaps they never got married tut tut.
And not been able to find them in 1841 census
The romantic in me thinks they may have got married on the boat over from Ireland, by the captain, as they eloped to escape mixed religion families, like romeo and Juliet. 
But probably over the brush.
