Ratchford/Rochford & MacManus.

[Becky86]

Can anyone help me with more information on my 2nd great grandparents?
They are David Ratchford or Rochford the name keeps changing between census records & his wife Eliza McManus.
David was born in Mayo according to a few English census records. Around 1837 & his wife around 1841. They were possibly married & lived in Leeds West Yorkshire England from the early 1860's onwards. He died & is buried in Leeds in 1907. I can't find much information on parents or siblings, or actual birthplace in Mayo.
Eliza's birthplace is confusing, on 2 census records it's down as being born in Ireland & another 2 born in Leeds Yorkshire, so I'm not really sure, I can't find any English birth records for her so I'm assuming she came from Ireland.

Any help much appreciated.

likely marriage in Leeds, first quarter 1863 - David Ratchford and Eliza McManus, volume  9B page 497
worth ordering that cert as it should show father's names and occupations
