How did you get back to this couple, Tom?
I can't find a marriage within the dates you mention.
If Mike's census is right, your dates are way out.

Tom Report 31 Jan 2014 17:46

Hello BeverleyW

To be very honest I looked at his birth and thought Give it 20 years or so hence the date just a guess, sorry if I mislead you.

Hello rootgatherer, there is a son, Robert born 1854

Hello Mike, what you have found I have been given so the info on Andrews
looks very promising

Thank you both for your time and help
I'm very grateful

Regards

Hi Mike
Your second find where Cathrine is listed as a widow is the one according to my friend who asked for this info, he also states that her birth was abt 1813.
I have just spoken to him hence this reply, I'll now do a search for Cathrine Andrewsand see what comes up......!!

Thanks once more to you all

Hello alviegal

Sorry for the delay in replying, the first Catherine is the one I'm looking at.
I have two options open to me at the moment, Is she Catherine Anders or
is she Catherine Andrews.......?
I'm also having a real problem finding John Galloway and his parents.

Thank you for taking time to help me, it's much appreciated

Regards

In the 1871 census which Mike posted (Catherine widow), I think that in fact Mary and Bridget Andrews are living next door. The census gives the town of birth of Mary and Bridget (they are different towns) but I'm afraid I can't read them.

If we now know that Catherine was born as early as 1813, it is possible she got married in Ireland. How do you know that John is not Irish as well? It would also be very unlikely that Robert was their only son, there were probably several before him! Getting his birth certificate would give his mother's maiden name.

Hi to you both

Mike, I have the people below in my list and yes they do share the same dwelling...!

I think that Beverly has raised a good point in that John Galloway may have been born in Ireland. I will try and find out.
with JG
Looking at the trees in ancestry it would appear that the tree owners have got the same problem with JG..

BAIGENT Emma St. Giles 1b 778
Galloway Robert St. Giles 1b 778

Thank you both once again for taking the time to offer more help, I appreciate it

Just in case it's of any use, the Mary Andrews on the 1871 who is in a separate household within the same address as Catherine Galloway was born Wicklow, Ireland. Her daughter Bridget was from Conway.

Hi MarieCeleste

information.

Thank you for looking
