Family History Beginners Board / Re: Cannot find a date of death
« on: Thursday 01 October 20 10:52 BST (UK)  »
Patrick's parents where James Colgan and Elizabeth Quinn.

Gadget may possibly have found the death! I am surprised that he is now back in Ireland again! And i for the life of me could not find the death in Ireland either. He had a brother called John who married Susan so the record that states the informant was his sister in law Susan totally fits! Cause of death says accidental fall but i don't know what the rest of it says. I will try and see if i can order this death certificate for my records but i think this has to be him!

Thank you so much to everyone for your input! Could not have done this without you! If i find any more road blocks i may have to call on you all again haha!

Family History Beginners Board / Cannot find a date of death
« on: Wednesday 30 September 20 15:33 BST (UK)  »
I am recently new to family history and spent 9 months doing my family tree when a family friend asked if i could do theirs for them. I have suddenly now come across a road block early on in my research for him.

I am trying to find the date of death for a Patrick Colgan born/baptised 18th December 1862 in Ireland. He married Margaret Connolly in Birkenhead in July 1889. He was listed in the 1901 census in Birkenhead in Cheshire England but not on the 1911 census. His wife Margaret Colgan (nee Connolly) is listed on the 1911 census as widowed. I have searched for any Colgan's dying between 1901-1911 and have come up with nothing! Is it possible that he didn't die between those years? I even searched for Colgan's dying in Ireland but came up with nothing. And there are thousands of families with the name Colgan!

Can anyone help me at all or at least point me in the right direction? Help would be much appreciated. I have spent weeks on this and have no idea what i should do now.
