	I've looked on 1871 census.......no sign of James Cole with a wife Emma in Devon. The only census entry for Patrick Hallahan is 1861......he's born Youghal, Cork, Ireland and is a crew member on a vessel in port in Cornwall. If she married him, she could well have ended up in Ireland........ Reg

Member Since: October 2003 Posts: 568 Send Message	the thing is though, i have a funny feeling that its james cole she married as her mums maiden name was also cole, they could have been cousins. its maybe just a coincidence but i suddenly thought it wsa funny. lou
