Haha, one day  ;D

Just looking at that 1871 census again with Michael and children on, it's in Kyo which appears to be right next to Annfield Plain. His child Jeremiah is still down on the same residence in 1881 but Michael isn't on there which would make sense if he died in 1876. Starting to think it's definitely the same Michael. Jeremiah appears to have been born in Queens County, Ireland.

Only thing that confuses me is that Michael married Bridget in 1868, why wouldn't he be living with her in 71  ???

I think I gave you Irish records for that family in your other thread.

Annfield Plain has changed out of all recognition within relatively recent memory. In the 1950's the pits were still working. The huge pit heaps of Pontop Colliery were behind my grandparents' house. Now there is no sign that they ever existed.

Only thing that confuses me is that Michael married Bridget in 1868, why wouldn't he be living with her in 71  ???

The census only recorded where everyone was on that one night. The fact that she doesn't appear to be in the household doesn't imply at all that she wasn't living with him. She was just somewhere else on that night, the problem is where was she?

Yes, Kyo is pretty close to A.P.

To make it easier for anyone else looking at this thread, here is Michael (without Bridget) in 1871

Thanks. I think when I first read it I was a bit lost but it makes more sense to me now. I think you could be right with it.

The kids Michael is with in the 1871 census are called Jeremiah and Eliza. Could be that he named them after his parents, Darby (Jeremiah) and Betty/Elizabeth

Marriage certificate just arrived.

Both widowers. So that explains it!

Michael's Bergin's dad was Daniel Bergin.

Bridget Burns' dad was John Devlin.

Told you so  :P  Well done, mystery solved!

By the way, I have searched as best I can for Bridget in 1871 and can't find anything remotely convincing.
