Manchester 1851 / 1861

[suttontrust]

I'm looking for these 3 families in the Manchester area in 1851 or 1861:
Joseph Massey, son Josiah (born c. 1838) - in 1859 they were in Hulme.
Patrick McGough, daughter Margaret (born c. 1838, father & daughter both born in Ireland) - in 1859 they were also in Hulme.
Benjamin Simmons, daughter Elizabeth (born c. 1840) - in 1857 they were in Salford.
Any help gratefully received, as this is my only way of getting further back.

I've checked Salford 1861 for Simmons. The only Benjamin I can find is this one:

At RG9 2919 66 sched 172

6 Yorkshire St

(Blackfriars Salford)

Benjamin Simmons (age illegible)     
                                Fishmonger born Manchester
Ellen                  wife aged 47     born Preston
Sophia               dau  aged 15    Cotton Thostle Spinner
                                                   born Salford
Selina                 dau  aged 11   Scholar   born Salford

Could he be yours?

He could indeed.  The only child I knew about was married by then, but she was born in Preston.  Has to be them.  Many thanks.
