Find Ancestors

Having looked through the census records myself, i am unable to find the following people, Patrick Joseph Donahue born c1896 in Galway. Ireland and Sarah Donahue nee Brennan born c1901 in Wicklow. Ireland. Their surname has been spelt quite a few different ways on various records, mostly Donohue or Donahue.
Their first child was born on the 26th January 1930 in the Misericoria Hospital in Cook Chicago . I have looked at the birth record on line but am unable to decipher the address as there is a geneology stamp across it. I assume they would have been living in the Chicago area when the census was taken.
According to records posted on line, Patrick and Sarah were married in Chicago in February 1929. I have been in contact with the records office in Chicago and no record of their marriage has been found from 1920 to 1940. It could be possible they never married.
Any help in finding them on the census would be very helpful

Is this the birth of the first child?

on the 1940 census it has the family living at 5343 Shields Avenue, Cook. Chicago. They were living at this address in 1935 but i am unable to find out where they were in 1930

Muriel was born in Jan 1930 and should appear on the 1930 US census which was taken April 1930

Can't find her?

I agree, Gins, she has to be on the 1930 census but I've tried everything to find her or her parents. No luck!

Interesting that the FamilySearch version of Muriel's birth gives a middle name nd variant spelling of surname:

i have looked and not been able to find them, i thought a spare set of eyes might do the trick. I don't think they would have had the money for a trip back home to Ireland.
