Yes should be 1858, so Mary is widowed in 1861. Thank you so much, that has really helped me. I have also tried to do a lot of searching for my Irish ancestors especially the Lydons . I know they came from Swineford County Mayo , I cannot find any records from there . I was told a lot of Irish ones had been lost , but seeing your link give some me hope I can find out more there. thanks again Heywood ... first time on here and it's been great . Lots of help from different people

No Maureen , not come across a Hugo Lydon, they all seem to be Michael and James in my tree. But it's  very interesting him being a lodger with Mary in 1881. He could be a brother of Ann's husband Michael

The ages of the older children vary somewhat between 1861; 1871 and 1881 censuses.

1871 shows Mary Pendergist aged 7 years.
1881 Mary is 18 yrs.
She is shown as a daughter to Mary snr and presumably is illegitimate.
GRO index shows Mary Prendergest b 1864 with mother’s maiden name Machon.

This would also discount the Mayo baptism I linked.

I often find the ages seem to differ between some  census , yet the same people live in the same house 10 years later !!  I was trying to decipher the baptism link you sent and was thinking it was showing Mary's maiden name  starting with a M ..  yes young Mary would have been illegitimate as Luke had passed away 1858. Great info ..

Just been looking at the 1861 census , it states Mary's daughter Bridget 9 years old born in Hull , then daughter Ann aged 6 born in Ireland. This seems strange to me, I don't understand why they would have gone back to Ireland at this time . As it was time of the great famine .. any ideas please. Also I can't seem to find 1851 census for Luke or Mary

[heywood]

Yes I noticed that and she still gives Hull as her birthplace after marriage.
I can’t see a birth though.

[Christine3217]

I have now found Bridget Prendergast who died in 1879 , birth year 1853. About same year as Bridget from my tree, so not sure if Bridget Prendergast marrying James Callaghan is right one. She gives 1857 as birth year.. its all confusing . I suppose only way forward is buying bmd certificates

Good morning! (here)

I wonder if the Bridget who died in 1879 was the Bridget McKINNITH that Thomas married in 1876? He's listed as widowed on the 1881. There just aren't too many Bridget P*nd*g*sts in the area at the time .

Did you ever mention who the witnesses to the marriage of Ann and Michael were? (Sorry if I missed it.)

Yes,some certs would probably help.

Good luck!
