Hi, I would be most grateful for a look up on the 1841 census.
The person I'm looking for is ELIZABETH JONES.
 She was born in 1840 in TIPTON
I can't find her birth & on her marriage record the fathers name was unreadable, so I don't know who her parents are.
Hope someone can help.
Thank you for anything you come up with
Barbara

Hi Ros,
Thank you again for your messages, I'm having trouble sending personal messages to people at the moment, don't know what I'm doing wrong!
You've given me a lot to think about!
I was very interested in what you say about the Quack Doctors. they would rely on knowledge handed down rather than book learning wouldn't they?
I expect many people would eye these people with a certain suspicion too.
More intrigue, was Hugh running away from some malpractice accusations?

As to Alexander Haggart, I was in touch with his gr.. grandson a while back but sadly we came to no conclusions or connections. This chap, also Alex confirmed his Haggarts came from Scotland & that there were no Haggarts left in Roscommon now.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Colin,
I tried to reply to you off list but my message disappeared!
Anyway, there were 2 Mary Gallaghers on the 1881 census one is Hugh & Catherine's daughter Mary Ann born in 1856 in Brum & the other is Mary daughter of David & Mary Gallagher. She was born in 1857.
It would be lovely if she was Hugh's daughter!
They probably went to the same Church, St Annes.
Hugh Gallagher came from Leitrim, a neighbouring county.
I had a laugh when you said you had taught some modern day Gallaghers, I hope for your sake they weren't as feisty & wild as my mob apparently were!
The two boys especially, Francis & Hubert, were by all accounts "Hard drinking & fighting men, typical Irish"!!

Thank you Susan!! You're a Star!

This is my "mob", my 2Gr Granddad James who on other census says he was born at sea, sometimes the Irish Channel, sometimes the Atlantic Ocean!  Plus my Gr Granddad, Frederick George!
Also this answers some questions as to where Minnie & Manfred fit in.

Sorry, I forgot to say that Harriet Fellowes (future Gr Grandma) was either born in B'ham or Glamorgan Wales. She states in 1891 it was Glam. but others it's B'ham.
I have her Dad James, on the 1851 census lodging  in B'ham & born in Brum.
James was deceased by 1878 (Harriet's wedding) I think there could be an older brother, John. Hope this can narrow the search down a bit.
Thank you so much for what you've already done.
All the best
Barbara
