Can anyone help me find a 1851 census record for Michael and Mary Finn.
They were both from Ireland, but had (presumably) moved to Liverpool by at least 1840, when their daughter, Mary Ann Finn, gets married to George Cassidy. Michael was a tailor.
1841:
Michael Finn, 55, tailor, b. Ireland
Mary Finn, 55, no occupation, b. Ireland
Piece 555
Book 3
Folio 23
Page number 38
1851: ?
Mary died in December 1860, but Michael appears on the 1861 census with his daughter and her family:
1861: 41 Portland Place, Everton
George Cassidy, head, married, 41, stone mason, b. Liverpool
Mary Ann do, wife, married, 41, b. Dublin
John do, son, unmarried, 16, b. Liverpool
Mary Ann do, daughter, 10, b. Liverpool
Jane do, daughter, 8, b. Liverpool
Eleanor do, daughter, 4, b. Liverpool
George do, son, 2, b. Liverpool
Michael Finn, father-in-law, widow, 73, b. Dublin
James do, brother-in-law, married, 48, b. Dublin
Household schedule number 93
Piece 2716
Folio 9
Page number 18
Michael got hit by an omnibus the following year and died shortly after. His daughter and some of her family left for America in 1887.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks. :)

Thank you Daisy, your help is much appreciated! :)
I agree this looks like the good match!
I initially thought the birthplace for Mary could've been Carlow, as the couple did have children born in that county. However, when I examine the rest of the record, the capital letter "C" appears differently in other areas, so, now I'm not so sure about that. Any ideas?

It looks like ‘Athlone’ to me.
