Barry Report 7 Nov 2013 16:08

There are trees on Ancestry, some showing Patrick's wife as Jane Fagan and there is another showing his wife as Jane Macklin b 1861 and married in Liverpool 1882
Perhaps Jane Macklin was a widow ?? mn Fagan ?

There is NO birth to match the info about Patrick c1892

PricklyHolly

PricklyHolly Report 7 Nov 2013 16:41

Odd though Reggie that on the 1881 census i posted, Patrick is 31.

It appears to be the same family in 1871......but Patrick is 30.

Edit: Note that on the 1891 census posted.........he was born 1851 a Dock Labourer.

I might need to have a lie down!


Edit....Reggie has deleted her post.

there are no Teresa and Sarah births as per that 1881 unless I am missing them? though I can find Mary J (likely)

Sheelah Report 8 Nov 2013 14:41

Thank you all for this help. I had been able to find the family on census records from 1891, 1901, 1911.
I cannot find any records of marriage or of the births of the children and this is where I hit brick wall.
I am descended from Mary Rowan/ Ross whom Jane is living with in 1911, I am pretty certain Patrick died in 1906. Their son Patrick joined the navy and appears on 1911 census in Portsmouth.I cannot be sure of the spouses of Ellen and Jane but think Ellen married a surname Standley
