Monaghan / Re: John McGough Born .c. 1820
« on: Tuesday 22 February 22 10:21 GMT (UK) »Hi, just read your post from 2021. My great grandfather Hugh McGough gave Aghnamullen, Monaghan, as his birthplace on the 1881 England census in Manchester, Lancashire. So far I have not got any further back than that.
Have you managed to find any birth/baptismal records since your post?
I should have mentioned Hugh was born 1849 and married in Dundalk 1871 and arrived in England some time between 1871 and 1881. His obit mentioned that he was employed by a Manchester tailor for 60 years, so I assume that he arrived pre 1879.
