Happy to join the new forum. I am researching the above names.
My great-grandmother, Margaret Victoria Elizabeth, daughter of Peter Deffley (Ship steward)moved to England about 1845. I believe she was from Lecarrow, Roscommon. Her brother Joseph, a marble polisher, was with her in Northwich, Cheshire on the 1851 census (aged 19). However, he must have returned to Ireland, since I have a photo of him and wife Bessie as a man in his forties or fifties (Black and White photographers-does that ring a bell?) There are still Joseph and Peter Duffleys from Lecarrow living in Athlone- I'm trying to trace the links. I have no BDM records from Ireland. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. |
