Morning,
I have Rachael Reynolds born1821in Ireland to parents James & mary ann
Reynolds.Rachael marries Andrew lynam in 1846 in manchester they have two
sons, Andrew & Lawrence.Andrew (snr) dies 1850, racheal gos on to marry Thomas Benette in 1858 manchester.I have rachael & thomas (1801) on the 1871 census
Living at 26 Beaumont st manchester with her sister jane lewis (1844) and several other people including a fanny pilkington (1846) but I can't find Rachael or her two sons Andrew and Lawrence after this 1871 census..I dont have any material for rachael s son's as of yet, other than there in a john lynam age 1 stated a grandson to the head (Rachael) sorry for rambling on a bit....but i really have hit a brick wall :-S

Do you have Rachel & her sons in 1861:


Rachel Bennett - married

Age:38
Estimated Birth Year:1823
Relation:Head
Gender:Female
Where born:Liverpool
Civil Parish:Manchester

Rachel Bennett 38
Lawrence Lynam 13
Andrew Lynam 11

Thomas BENNETT has been transcribed as a Lodger in 1871, although the writing and over writing make the original confusing, but also looks like Widower in the "Condition" column. I would have thought he would at least be down as married and/or Rachael's surname to be Bennett also?? Also the address on the original reads as Beaufort Street. Thomas and James, described as Rachael's sons are both Lynams

Rachaels father James died in the workhouse, was hoping it wouldn't happen again, but I think this may be her
