I thought that about his occupation how did you find his occupation on the marriage certificate?

No matter what is found They don't want us to find them in 1881 I've had a word with a relative she doesn't know anything as the families didn't get on so they had nothing to do with them

Thank you for all your time and help but I think it will stay a mystery

Thank you for that Redmond /Raymond and Mary were James Sylvesters parents
Radmond died 1886 On James's daughter birth 1888 it had he was a bootmaker.

It's as thought we're talking about 2 different people , yes they were drinker but not heard anything about him sprinting The workhouse doubled up as a hospital, and they had 4/5 children

Apparently Maria married John Ramsbottom Maria is? the sister of Beatrice who married Foster Hornby my grandfathers brother. The relation I'm in touch with didn't have any thing to do with the Carlan, Another person I'm in touch with is Maria's granddaughter, she has photos but nothing for her until her marriage and remembering she refered to her as nanny Mac (Mac short for Macdonell her 2nd husband) I thought the 1881 census would link the family together and find out if Mary Ellen And Maria were the same person or two different people

But it would appear the 1881 census is missing for them!!

Chris Ho :) Report 27 Aug 2019 18:46

Not sure if if I've missed something in 'Thread', where did you get the Mary Ellen 1875 reference from?...1891 seeing James, Elizabeth and Beatrice, with Mother Elizabeth. Maria being with John Purcell and wife as Visitor (possibly Uncle)

I think Mary Ellen has been taken from trees on Ancestry, which show a Mary Ellen in the family - but (as Shirley pointed out earlier) it's a mistake.
This seems to be the birth and death of that child:

Yes I saw that and some one has it on ancestry who is the gr granddaughter BUT the fathers name was Jacob ? so I'm not convinced,
Apparently according to Who do you think you are last night the catholic register was written in Latin and Maria Anne was Mary Ann in English,

Also all the children were born in Manchester


I don't think we will find the 1881 census Thank you all for you time and all the info you have found for me

I'll close this thread now and go to the other one
