JUDGE family in Longford, Roscommon

[leprechaun]

Was interested in the Surname " Judge" I have a few BUT not from Roscommon. The Surname Breheny/ is Irish for Judge so it's worth looking at the Surname Breheny/ Lep

[Toronto]

Many thanks for your contribution, I shall keep the Breheny name in my research.

All my best

 Hi Mike:

I actually thought some of your Judges might have come to Saratoga from Canada.

By any chance do you still have access to the census material in
 Hulme, Manchester, England? 

There is a gap in the presence of my James Kelly of Roscommon.  If he turned up near Manchester, it could be telling for you as well as me.

Thanks for your consideration.

Yours truly,
Roger

Hello

I have seen you posts several times but tonight noticed the Judge family name - Bridget Judge and John Spencer are my dad's grandparents - My dad's name was also John and he was born in 1909 in Thomas Street, Gorton. His mum and dad were Robert Spencer and Elizabeth Ann Courtney they married in Sept 1898.   It looks like Thomas Spencer married Mary Donigan - she was born in County Kildare - on the 1851 Salford census she was 41 years old. Thomas and Mary were my dad's great grandparents.  It would be lovely to hear if you have any more news.  My dad always told me the story that his mum was working down the coal mines at 7/9 years of age and that one of her sons used to help her clean the St. francis Gorton school when she was widowed because the ends of her fingers used to crack and bleed badly.  So far it has proved impossible to find any records of her working down the mines.  bye Mary Spencer

Hi Mary,
your response to me is a lovely Christmas present. For sure we are related. Thomas and Mary are my three times great grand parents. You can contact me at *

I live in Toronto Canada but lived in England till 1963 when we left to come to Canada, my dads side of the family are Spencer's, my grandmother Emma Spencer would have been brought up in the Gorton area.
Hopefully you have a Family tree program, I would like to share with you what I have found. Such as Thomas's parents and his grandparents. Our family were even mentioned in an early form of census taking known as the papist Returns.

Hope to hear from you soon.

All my best

HELLO THANK YOU FOR REPLYING SO QUICKLY, JUST DECIDED TO HAVE ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE GOING TO BED.  ANOTHER MARRIAGE SHOWS FOR THOMAS SPENCER SHOWS A MARY DUNAKIN IN OLD GLOSSOP CHURCH RECORDS, 29TH AUGUST 1831 BUT THIS COULD BE A MISTAKE AND IT COULD BE PAUL SPENCER'S WIFE

MY SEARCHING HAS ONLY RECENTLY STARTED SO NOT VERY MUCH TO OFFER YOU AT PRESENT IT LOOKS AS IF MARY AND THOMAS LIVED IN AGENORIAN BUILDINGS, ARDWICK IN THE 1841 ARDWICK CENSUS AND ORDSALL LANE, SALFORD IN THE 1851 CENSUS.  WE ARE GOING TO MANCHESTER AFTER CHRISTMAS AND HOPE TO VISIT MOSTON CEMETERY,  TO TRY AND FIND SOME OF THE FAMILY GRAVES.  WENT THERE WITH MY DAD TOO MANY YEARS AGO TO COUNT BUT CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT THE PLOT NUMBERS WERE.  BYE FOR NOW  MCS

Its possible you know the following family or they are your family. Angela use to contact me on a regular basis. My records take me back to around 1750 on our Spencer family. I know where Thomas's parents are buried near New Mills. Also that two of their sons set off for America around 1862, one was also named Robert. I am in contact with a Great Grand Daughter from this line in the USA.

The following is what Angela from Gorton sent me.
