Michael Winn of Leitrim maybe?
« on: Tuesday 13 December 22 11:36 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks, this is a whole new area for me. I have mostly been looking at Winn's in Durham, England.
I came across this family. a peter Winn of Chorly Lancashire has a father apparently born in Ireland.

Michael Winn, Father, M, 38, Co Latram Ireland, Name Michael Winn
Sex Male, Age 38, Event Date 1891, Event Place Chorley, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom, Event Place (Original) Chorley, Lancashire, England, Enumeration District 8, Registration District Chorley, Event Type Census Birth Year (Estimated) 1853, Birthplace Co Latram Ireland, Marital Status Married, Occupation Bricklayers Labourer, Relationship to Head of Household Head Event Place Note Cumberland Terrace, Page Number 24, Piece/Folio 3424/ 72 Registration Number RG12, Catherine Winn, Mother, F, 24, Co Latram Ireland,

Now I assume Latram is Leitrim, on another census is was recorded as Hatram, but Im sure its meant to be Leitrim. The other issue is, his name may be Wynn rather than Winn.
I looked at a number of the links for Leitrim but many are broken. Is there anyone kind person that can at least give a little more detail? I assume they migrated to Lancashire during famine years.

Thanks for any hints or insights.
Regards
Winn, Wynne, Wynd, Wind, Winde

Civil registration of births in Ireland started in 1864. When and where was Peter Winn born? do you know his mother's maiden name? If he was born in England the GRO index can be searched for maiden name which will help in finding the parents' marriage.

Winn family in 1891- all children listed born in Lancashire-

Looks like a match to this marriage-
July/Sep 1876   
McPartlin    Catherine        Chorley    8e   741
WYNN    Michael        Chorley    8e   741

Do you have that marriage cert for Catherine & Michael ?

It should show fathers names and occupations, might help narrow down possible matches. There are a few Michael Winn/Wynne baptisms around that right time (1853 +-5), only seems to be one likely match for Catherine that I see - all assuming they are Catholic and ages given are not far off
