Hello June,

I've done a little digging.

The 1881 census shows the family. Patrick (father) Maria B. and Eleanor were all born in Ireland. Christina and Patrick (junior) were born on the Isle of Man. They must have moved there between 1864 and 1867 and then sometime after moved to Cheetham, Manchester.

I had a look on www.familysearch.org for their marriage. The only possibility I could find is:-
17th feb 1862 Roman Catholic, Ballinameen, Roscommon. Patrick Duffy married a MARIAM BEIRNE. This ties in with the birth of their first child. What do you think?
Hope this helps a little.

Regards

Jacqueline (Fiona)

This could be Eleanor's birth registration. found on the IGI on www.familysearch.org/

(Dublin, Dublin signifies that she was born in Dublin City and it's an extract from the Civil Birth Registrations, so you can order a copy from the Souther Ireland Record Office if you wish..)
