Ann Gunn/ Joseph Darby Birth/Bapt & Marriage
« on: Saturday 30 July 11 20:19 BST (UK) »
Help wanted please in locating records for Ann Gunn, She first appears in England on 1851 census with husband Joseph Darby. I can then follow them until their deaths in Eng. Joseph was a Cabinet Maker all his life . Born in Belfast. Ann was born in Co. Monaghan both born @1825. I think the family where RC.

I have evidence of their son John's bapt in1854,in North Shields. They had an 2 daughtesr Elizabeth Ann bn.1850 in England, & Ann J. born 1852.

In 1861 the Darby family also were living in Manchester with 2 more children Mary& Joseph plus Mary Gunn sister in law.

 In 1871 census son John Darby was living with aunt & uncle Hugh& Elizabeth Gunn in Manchester learning his uncles trade as a Plasterer. Also there was Catherine Darby (aunt) All born Co Monaghan.

The Joseph Darby family are in Huddersfield where they remained.

The 1851 census shows Hugh Gunn, is living in Manchester with his parents Andrew Gunn & Wife Mary,+ 4 siblings.  Hugh was born @1841 and is the youngest child, his siblings Andrew Bn.1833, Mary @1830,Michael 1835, Francis 1839 all  ??? ???born in Co Monaghan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated this has been one half of my BRICK WALL for many years.

You would really need to know where in Co. Monaghan (i.e. townland or parish) your family lived, so you can check what records might be available

There are records for a few RC Co. Monaghan parishes on the pay-website of the Irish Family History Foundation at : www.rootsireland.ie  Note none of the parishes included at the moment have records back any further than the 1830s - see the sources page for details.

Thank you Shane,

I have already looked at that website, but not had any success. I do not know which Parish/Township any of them originated, I will just have to wait until more Co Monaghan records become available online.

the correct term in Ireland is townland... it's the smallest unit of land division

decreasing in size, there's - province (4), county (32), civil parish (about 2,400) and townland (c62,000)
