Rochford/McCabe family in Stalybridge
« on: Saturday 11 December 04 04:00 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for family or information relating to Michael Rochford and Elizabeth Trainer/McCabe of Stalybridge and Leicester.
Michael was born in Wexford, Ireland in 1846 and moved to Stalybridge around 1858 when his parents Catherine Sullivan and Gorratt(Garratt) Rochford died of the fever.  He went to live with Esther Sullivan, his mother's sister, in Stalybridge.  He married in 1867 but his wife died soon after.  He then married his wife's sister Elizabeth Trainer/McCabe in 1869.  Both marriages took place in Ashton under Lyne.  They had several children and eventually moved to Leicester with Michael dying around 1913 in Leicester.

Thank you, Celia!  I apologise for not responding sooner.  I forgot how to get back to this site! 

That's the family!  I am stuck at Michael and Elizabeth.  I haven't been able to trace proof of birthday, parents, etc.  for either.
Ireland records are hard to access from Canada on a tight budget. 
Best of luck in your own search.  If I can check anything for you let me know.
Best regards,
Joyce

An update-

Elizabeth McCabe was not related to Michael's first wife after all.  She is the daughter of John McCabe son of George and Mary McCabe and Alice Fennelly/Finley/firnley of Patrick & Margaret Fennelly/Finley...
