Hi would anyone be kind enough to help me im my search for Thomas Killoran? In the 1881 census he he living in Husseys yard Knutsford with wife Mary Ann. They were married in Knutsford 10th May 1880. Despite having had access to all censuses I cannot find where they ended up. Thankyou.

Have you checked FreeBMD for possible deaths and remarriages?

Have you looked on 1901 & 1911 Irish census to see if they went back there?

Is this the birth of Annie ?

Thankyou yes that is my James Foy.

It may be worth getting a copy of James Foy's death certificate to see who the informant was - might give a clue (but might not!)

Sheila Looks like they may have emigrated to US ..a number of Births..Massachussetts (1901....) shows parents to be Thomas E Killoran..b.Ire. wife Mary Ann Foy b...Eng.

Residence Year: 1931
Street Address: 17 Marie av
Residence Place: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Publication Title: Cambridge, Massachusetts, City Directory, 1931

At the address is Francis H (sales), Edward A steamfitter. There is also a Mary Ann but it says "wid Augustin".
The 1930 directory also lists her and there's an entry "Augustine F died 6 Sept 1928"

The 1920 US census has been mistranscribed - the son listed as Ignatius is actually Augustin Frederick on the original and he was a chauffeur.
The address for the family on that census was 17 Marie Avenue
