Thanks everyone

Thats them.

Hi Patrick

I took your advice and found he married Martha Moran on family search

Where are / what are the Tithe Aplotment books or Griffiths Evaluation?

I can't find him in the 1901 census. This could possibly be his death:-

Name: Peter Hickey
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1814
Year of Registration: 1893
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at Death: 79
District: Prestwich
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8d

Hi Simon.

The other main records that exist for Ireland were the Tithe Applotment records (compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings over one acre) and Griffith's evaluation (The Primary Valuation was the first full-scale valuation of property in Ireland. It was overseen by Richard Griffith and published between 1847 and 1864). Several sites contain the above info, best to google. Hope this helps you in your search.

Patrick.

Thanks Patrick

I will take a look

I need to find Peter Hickeys father who would have married between 1805 and 1813.

Most City of Dublin parish registers are free online at:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/

Many thanks

Simon.....How do you know Peter was b Dublin...?
Have you checked out the Hickey's Manchester..1841 Census...you may find his family already listed in the area..plenty of them around.....Given it "appears" James is the first born son ( Census 1851) and if they followed traditional naming patterns then Peters father's name may well be a James Hickey

Hi Erin
I got his name off the 1841 Census record.
His son James, John and Albert were already born
I thought the same particularly as I can't find a Peter Hickey birth.
I did find a James Hickey though.
This is where it becomes guesswork.

This could be him?

Right year as per 41 census
I can't find another in the previous 5 years.

Simon...May be a long shot but that could figure as I dont see Peter jnr. with Peter and Martha also there is a William Hickey on 1841 Census b abt 1780ish if i remember correctly...believe there was also an Ann....
He is listed as living Chorlton Hulme..dont have access so cant check it out for you.....

Hi Simon

Hi Erin

That would make sense that William Hickey emigrated to Manchester with his son James and mother Ann.
He then married aged 21 Martha Moran born Manchester.

I wonder if someone look-up the 1841 census for William and Anne.

Ria
That newspaper piece is interesting but my Anne Hickey born in 1852 daughter of Peter Hickey married Josef Gerster.

They are both the 1891 census below

The 1891 census:-

HICKEY, Peter Head Married M 77 1814 Compositor
Ireland Dublin
HICKEY, Martha Wife Married F 76 1815
Manchester Lancashire
HICKEY, Annie Daughter Single F 35 1856 Teacher Of Music Manchester Lancashire
POLSON, Thos Watson Boarder Single M 40 1851 Bank Clerk
Berriedale Caithness-Shire
GERSTNER, Joseph Albert Boarder Single M 25 1866 Salesman Switzerland
MORTON, Agnes Servant Single F 12 1879 Domestic

Address:
14, Claremont Road, Moss Side

Josef was a Swiss Salesmen who boarded with the Hickeys, he married Annie.

On 1891 Living as a boarder at 12 Claremont Road, Moss Side, Manchester.
Salesman of Swiss Embroideries (Lace Products)
In 1901 living at 239 Cranbourne Road Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, Manchester. Married to Annie Hickey.

So I don't know who that Ann could be unless they had a Anne and an Annie
