Hi Belinda

You're welcome-

I suppose it depends on how Patrick pronounced his surname to the enumerator-depending on his accent.

I think that Patrick Gready on the 1871 census may be the right one -just had a look at the Cheshire BMD site and there's a Thomas Grady born in Stockport in 1865 and a Mary Ellen Grady born in Stockport in 1866. The mother's maiden name for both if them is Horan.

These were the names of the two children of Patrick and Mary Gready in 1871.

What do you think?

Hi Belinda

First I found Michael and Ellen Horan then scrolled back a few pages to find Patrick.

If you just want to search for Patrick try Patrick Greany born 1840 Ireland.
(Try enlarging the page - it doesn't  really look like Greany possibly Gready?)

You should see him there with his wife Mary and children Thomas and Mary E.

 When you find them -if you go forward a few pages but still living in the same street you should find Michael and Ellen Horan.

Hi again

A possibility on the 1881

Patrick and Mary Grady , Mary E and Thomas,also with a daughter Catherine.

Cheshire BMD has Catherine Grady born 1871 - mother's surname is Horan.

Reference RG11 3749 Folio 9  page11

On the Cheshire BMD there's also Ann Grady born 1869 and Ellen Grady born 1873 - mother's maiden name for both is Horan(just select the surname Grady  - no christian name and  select several years)

Hope this helps

hi neptune - i have now found the 1871 and 1881 census with the instructions you gave me - they do look like this family however it would mean that mary has lost 10 years over a 20 yr period in 1861 she was down as being 27 ?
what is your thoughts on this ??
