Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 99 Send Message	In 1881 Honora Kerrigan widow age 41 charwoman born Ireland was living in Back Irk Street Manchester with three children and three lodgers. By 1891 her son John Joseph had married Mary Jones and had a daughter also called Honora. Can anyone find any of these people in 1891? Honora died in 1894 still in Manchester. I have tried numerous routes including Herrigan which was put in the birth entry of the child Honora in 1891. Last gasp as it's for a friend. Thanks Anita

	Researching: Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,494 Send Message	??? Have looked at Honora's born c 1841 living in Manchester, this is the only one coming up anywhere near. The original is poor writing, not Kerrigan, but could be it was misheard and so mis spelt. Not seeing an Honora Karran 1881/1901, nor in deaths. 1891 census transcription details for: 2, Pleasant Place, Manchester National Archive Reference: RG number: RG12 Piece: 3248 Folio: 39 Page: 21 Reg.

Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 99 Send Message	The birth is Honora, Lancs BMD reads name as Herrigan. Yes I think that is Patrick in 1891 and Stuart what a find ! the district is the same as 1881 and the rest fits age, PoB and status. Honora is an unusual name so I think you have found her. Thank you all Anita :-)
