Unfortunately, I can’t see Bernard/Bryan in 1851
This is really amazing heywood. Thank you for finding this and posting it here. This helps expand the Timlin family further in Europe for me. I'm happy to find that my Timlin family appears to be in Leeds at the time of the Irish famine, having left Ireland early I suppose.
I had actually never discovered that 1851 Leeds Census. It's a lot to think about and particularly interesting as you point out because the records have Margaret Timlen and John Conway marrying in 1842 in Leeds. I'll likely order that marriage record as I did Benrard/Bryan and Selina's. I'll have to see if Margaret's father is also listed as William Timlin on her marriage record too. I am certainly beginning to believe that John & Honor(a) Conway have more than a visitor relationship to Bryan/Bernard, because by comparing 1851 and 1861 census I would imagine that Bryan/Bernard is an uncle of John & Honor(a) Conway or some other type of relative.
William Timlin is listed as 80 years old in the 1851 census. If William is the father of Bernard/Bryan cited in his marriage certificate and possibly of Margaret. If so that means that William had them quite late in life, in his late fifties. I'm not ruling out the possibility, but maybe he is another patriarch of the family. This Timlin family seems big, but their living in Leeds gives me a better chance at finding out more information about them.
Thank you all again for everything and all of the information you've provided me. I appreciate the miracles that happen on rootschat.
