McAiney - Duffy

[PrestonMc]

Hi, Can anyone shed any light on my query please?
I`m researching (or I was!) Patrick McAINEY, but as you can see the name changes going back through the English census dates.
I`m assuming Patrick and Elizabeth came over to England to live in Preston Lancs as a married couple prior to 1861.
I  just wondered if anything matches when they were in Ireland.

Patrick McKNEANY     age 22   1861 census b Ireland
Elizabeth McKNEANY age 22   1861 census b Ireland (also a Catherine Duffy down as Mother in law and Patrick, brother in Law both b Ireland)

Patrick McINEANY     age 32    1871 census b Ireland
Elizabeth McINEANY age 32    1871 census b Ireland

Patrick McANEANY   age 42     1881 census b Ireland DUNDALK
Ellen McANEANY       age 43    1881 census  b Ireland CAVAN

Patrick McAINEY       age 51     1891 census (I think Elizabeth/Ellen has died since 1881)
Patrick McAINEY       age 62     1901 census

All the dates and children match up during that time.

Regards
Steve
