I have just found that my great great grandparents came from Co Mayo to Chorlton cum hardy (more specifically a place called Openshaw in Manchester that came under the Chorlton district at that time). They came round about 1845/46 presumably for work, the area was full of mills and hat making etc.  Does anyone know how I go about finding info about them from Co Mayo.  This it the first set of ancestors that havent actually come from Manchester.  Family legend has it that there was a mill fire or explosion early in 1900s and four of their daughters were killed in Chorlton district but no evidence yet.

Hello,
You would really need to know the area/ parish or townland they came from and even so , it is quite early for records.
There is info here: http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/448/archives_and_local_studies/506/multi-cultural_manchester/15
re articles, information about the Irish in Manchester and this too
http://www.manchesterirish.com/irishstory/mancirishstory1.htm
Are there any clues as to their origins in later censuses?
