thoughts plz......coachman domestic ?
« on: Wednesday 02 March 16 12:14 GMT (UK) »
hi all....i am trying to trace my Delahunty family...from Clonakenny.
on the 1901,they are listed in Salford,Lancashire...they are brothers,Patrick.John,James,and Michael.
I think they moved from Ireland to England about 1892 ish.
ok....so John Delahunty,married in Salford in 1906.....and gave his father's occupation as "coachman,domestic".,,he was also called John.
Now,looking through some Irish records,i see John Delahunty,listed as carman ?

I thought,coachman,maybe referred to horse and 4.........could it be possible that Coachman,could mean motorised ?? ??? ???
Any help thoughts,welcome.

Hi,Thank you,yes,that is the family......Patrick did marry Annie Flynn,as i have them on the 1911....brother Michael is still living with them,in Salford.
Michael married a Sarah Harper in 1897,although by 1901,he is living with the brothers,and his 2 children are living with grandparents in Staffordshire.

Ahh,,thank you......the John and Honora link shows a birth for a James..that ties up nicely with my James,date fits in too.
So,,that is looking good.
It has occured to me that it might have meant cartman ?,rather than carman ?
Thank You for all your hard work
