I'm looking for my gg grandmother's brother born in Ireland c1842. My gg grandmother was named Margaret Howley also born in Ireland c1840. She lived in the Bolton area at least from the age of 11 and married a Thomas Unsworth in Bolton. I don't know where in Ireland they were from but obviously came to England between 1842 to 1851, 1851 HO107/2210/Folio 523/pg31: Margarets address looks like Cellar, 95 Cross St, Bolton. Listed as visitor age 11 working in spinning room.

There was a John Thomas Howley (which was the name Margaret and Thomas gave their first son) who married in Blackburn 1886.

There was also a John Howley born in Ireland c1842 who, on the 1881 cns, was married age 39 was a Grocer and lived at 32 Temple St in Burnley but I don't know if this was the brother of Margaret.

Does anyone have any relations of this name?
