Sorry it’s me again.
This is another site which can be a help.

It is a pay site for records but you can deduce certain things and it can be interesting  (if you like that sort of thing)
For example - more Latin

1897
Elisabethae Holyoak Mother of Maria Francisca HOLYOAK at Corpus Christi, Miles Platting.
1900   
Elisabethae Holyoak Mother of Henricus DUFFY at Manchester, St. Edmund, Miles Platting

Unfortunately, I can’t see any of your Hawthorn Duffys.

No need to apologise. I value what we have found and progressed today. Thank you - any useful sites I'd like to learn

I'd like to have more snippets available to make deductions and develop the tree - I image I will need a wider range of viewing options, the further back I progress, so will happily take a look.

Thanks for covering the Hawthorn/Duffy angle on the site already. Last hour spent updating Elizabeth and 'duffy family' with a bit more 'meat' on the bones.

May have located an Army Service record for John Edward and also potentially a death record.
