James Colahan (b 1851)
« on: Saturday 12 May 12 00:07 BST (UK) »
In 1881, the above gentleman (b Ireland) is recorded as working as a gardener in the Isle of Man . He'd previously worked in Llanberis , North Wales , where 3 years previously he'd met his wife , Catherine Ellen Evans (b circa 1876) . I cannot find any other trace of them anywhere . Can anybody find something, please ?
