I am searching for any info on the family of Francis Traynor (Trainer/Trayner) born c 1832. He moved to Hull some time before 1866 and was a hemp dresser. The 1871 census shows his birthplace as Belfast but I have another source that suggests he was born in Monaghan. No response to requests in Monaghan so thought I'd try here.
Many thanks.
