Dunnigan of York

You are correct. I was looking for Maria but as usual I look for periphery info to see if I can find any clues. Sorry if I appeared to be flitting around the family.

No that's fine one find always leads to another

In case you were looking for it on the new GRO index - note spelling 
DUNNINGAN, BRIDGET       mmn GOWHAN     
GRO Reference: 1849  March Quarter in OF YORK IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF YORK 
Volume 23  Page 719   
 

Still can't see her in 1851 though

I wondered if they were lodging with another family in 1851 but looking for John and Mary born Ireland is rather needle in haystack

Thanks Rosie. I havn't familiarised myself with the new GRO index yet. Must try it.
