OK.. This one in 1900 was Hardwood Finisher .. So there must've been 2 Andrew.

Eames

Eames Report 9 Aug 2010 17:19

OK.. Think I'll go and slap my head HARD!! The Andrew in 1880 was born a lot earlier than the Andrew in 1900 .. Duh me!!

Ignore the 1880 then :D

The obits was for Andrew b 1826 I would assume. So my guess was Andrew b 1826 parents was Peter & Maria and Andrew's jnr parents was Andrew & Rachel.. Oh I dont know, need to clean my brain out and reboot it ;o)

Actually 1900 could be correct..

I can spot Andrew b 1850 England in 1861 Census wuth mother, Rachel

in 1900, he's living in Illinois b 1849 England with wife, Hanora.

Can I point out something..?


1871 England Census

Name: Lawrence Lynam
Age: 23
Estimated birth year: abt 1848
Relation: Son
Mother's Name: Rachael
Gender: Male
Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England
Civil parish: St Matthew
Ecclesiastical parish: St Matthew
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Registration district: Manchester
Sub-registration district: Deansgate
ED, institution, or vessel: 15
Household schedule number: 174
Household Members:
Name Age
Rachael Lynam 50
Lawrence Lynam 23
Thomas Lynam 9
James Lynam 7
Thomas Bennett 70
Fanny Pilkington 25
Jane Lewis 27
John Lynam 1

Thomas was listed as Widowed in the relationship status but it was crossed out and put I think Lodger over it and put Wid in the the right place. Rachel appeared as LYNAM and listed as wife.. *scratches head*
