Thanks Erin, I didn't have that, will have a look now!

Lorna

Lorna Report 27 Feb 2010 17:53

So it looks like it was the previous generation that came from Ireland, it has to be connected somewhere.....thanks very much for looking into this for me, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Colin, I shall have to investigate on that tree, there is a match on a tree here too but am awaiting a response assuming they are still a member.

Lorna Report 27 Feb 2010 17:45

Colin, looks although you have found her!! Nellie how odd. I'm quite confused over the Ireland link now??

Lorna if you check out the 1911 Census you will find Joseph H Sutcliffe...also look at Gertrude Sutcliffe.....Manchester

Lorna

Lorna Report 27 Feb 2010 17:41

That looks like it could be her obviously with everything year of birth can be out by several years can only confirm for definate once a cert has arrived. I do believe she had a Brother named Owen if that is any use at all??

Lorna....Had already found her Marriage and 2 of the children Joseph H b.June 1917 and James 1920...

Lorna

Lorna Report 27 Feb 2010 17:31

Thanks for that Colin, there is conflicting stories whether she was born in Ireland or Manchester (maybe a family tale to tell), it is thought that it is Ireland but sometimes these things turn out to be wrong, good to have some names to rule in or out with other info I can piece together.

Hi, Apologies I do not have the marriage cert yet so do not know her Fathers name/occupation- it's on order. This is her marriage though-

Foran Ellen Sutcliffe Manchester 8d 416
Sutcliffe Joseph H Foran Manchester 8d 416

I am unsure when they arrived but believe it to be between the 1901 and 1911
Thanks for any help or advice- all gratefully received.

Eringobragh1916 Report 27 Feb 2010 17:14

Lorna...If you have her MC...What was her Fathers name and occupation...What was her husbands name and where did they marry...

Lorna

Lorna Report 27 Feb 2010 17:10

I hadn't realised that I could search for Irish census like that, Thanks very much for that link. I do think she was already in Manchester by the 1911 though, I just don't seem to be able to find her or her family (which apparently she was one of 20 children! some born in Manchester some in Ireland) on any passenger lists. I don't have access to the full 1911 so cannot see who she would be with. Thanks for your advice good to know when I go back further.

Could she still have been in Ireland in 1911? You can search the Irish 1911 census free on this site:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
You will have her father's name from the marriage cert so that might
help confirm any findings.

Hi Could somebody please help, we have an Ellen Foran B.1890 in Ireland, she went to Manchester, I cannot find when she came to Manchester, we have her marriage etc but can't find who she was with in the 1911 census assuming she was here then as she married 1916. Any help is much appreciated. I haven't come across relatives overseas before. Thanks in anticipation.
