Hello,

I am researching the Phelan Family of Boot/Shoe Makers who ended up in Newcastle Upon Tyne Northumberland England, but who originated from Queens County, Ireland.

It appears that Thomas was born abt 1821.  His mother's name was Ann b. abt 1791.  He married Ellen McCormack b. abt 1821.

I am making a guess that the they have a son, Daniel b. 1844 in Queens County, and then the following children I have from Census documents 1861 & 1871 from Leeds, Yorkshire, England.

Margaret Phelan b. abt 1846 Queens County
Peter Phelan b. abt 1848 Queens County
Thomas Phelan b. abt 1852 Queens County
Mary Phelan b. abt 1855 Leeds, Yorkshire
John Phelan b. Oct 1856 Leeds, Yorkshire

Most of the family were in the Boot Finishing or Shoe making profession.

I have the names Thomas Phelan and Ellen McCormack from son John's Birth Certificate 1856.

Can anybody help with more information on the birth of Daniel abt 1844, and possibly more details on Thomas's Parents ( & Ann)

Thank you
Mick.
