Hello, can anyone help? From 1861 census i think my ancestor is Michael Towey b 1847 (brother John b1842) there may be a militia connectione Or maybe Towhy b 18 48( f. Michael, wife mary son michael age 13) or Toughey b 1845 (f. Thomas, wife mary, son Michael age 16). Whichever, Michael Towey b 1849or 52 d 1935 married in 1884 to Sarah Ann Revill b 1854 d 1896 and this is the line we are related to, all from Sheffield.
In the family it is known that we originate in Ireland but that seems to be based on the nature of the surname and it was thought Towey was anglicised Touhy. However, I have found the 3 gentlemen above so am very confused and don't know how to check the right name. Any help gratefully accepted. Thanks in advance.
