John Tierney

[Darren2510]

Hi, i am trying to trace any brothers or sisters of John Tierney born 1873 in Preston. His Father was John Tierney ( Hawker ) and mother Bridget Tierney ( maiden name Mcgwill or Mcgill/ Mcguill ) also a Hawker. Not able find them on any Census except 1881in Fulwood Workhouse were it looks like John Tierney the father had died and son and mother were in mates.

I can find John in the WH in 1881 but the only Bridget Tierney in Preston is married to Daniel and also has a son John aged 12

How old is Bridget in 1881

Hello and welcome 

Lancashire BMD http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/index.php shows several possible births and some deaths for the children.

1865 Mary Ann and Michael with McGill
1868 Daniel - McGill
1869 Elizabeth - McGuill

1871 census
1871 4174/14/21 has
Bridget Tearn 31 yrs b Ireland
Catherine Tearn 11 yrs b Ireland
Elizabeth Tearn 2 yrs b Preston
Boarding  in Blackburn.
There is a McGuire family boarding too - not McGuill though.

I wonder if these are your family?

I've posted information on the thread where Darren first posted which is Lancashire Archives look-up. I've asked for his post on that thread  to be moved.

2 possible deaths for John:
 1877, age 39 in Preston;
 1874, age 46 in Trinity sub-district (Trinity is also Preston I think.)
Edit. 1874 should be 1881. Ooops!

I couldn't find a marriage for John Tierney and Bridget McGill. There were 2 John Tierney/Tearney marriages with spouse Bridget -1864 at Bolton and 1874 at Blackburn but wrong surnames for Bridget.

A Thomas Tarney was registered in Stalmine sub-district 1861. Stalmine is some distance north of Preston.
Edit. Mother's maiden name was MGill.
