Hello Cathie...What delay !!!!...

I think your right regarding the Surname..likely it will be Callaghan or variations on the theme....Will give it a go and see if any needles pop out of the haystack..oddly enough I was looking for Harrington from the same area (Holborn) some while ago the person was after finding a "boy" who was sent to Canada under the "orphans" sceme....Jeremiah Harrington.

Morning ErinGoBragh1916,
Sorry about the delay,been trying to find Ellen!.
Well Her name in my cousins family history,which her mother wrote years ago,was Ellen Calnan,she was born apparently nr Bantry Bay,in about 1844.
She moved to London 1860 and went into service,she married John Harrington also from Cork
She was illiterate (so gawd knows how it's actually spelt)
this is the only marriage that seems to match them

Marriages Sep 1865
Calnin Ellen Holborn 1b 944
Harrington John Holborn 1b 944

I think this is going to be one of those needles in a hay stack.
but thanks for any thing you can find out for me.I's bound to be more than i have,which is next to nothing
Cathie

Morning Catherine...Do you have a name for the family and any idea where you may be looking in the Co.Cork....and what time frame...

You probably won't see this,
but i can't believe i didn't get the 1861.So am off to find them both before they married,and even more annoyingly they just say born Ireland on the others.

thanks both of you,
It's a pain! I have no children born in Ireland,and they married here 1865 .
Suppose i'll have to add a trip to Cork to my list.But i have got copies of Census,i'll have a read back through them in case i missed something,i should have the 1861 so i'll just see if i can find it

Erin - basically correct, except they're not really going to the UK - they were there to start with - what do you think was United with what in UK?

Yes Catherine you are correct...if you are trying to work out the when and where of your family going to UK from the Island of Ireland then its a case of looking at the earliest Census where they appear and seeing if any children were born prior to their arrival and trying that way ...its not an exact science and full of pitfalls but its the best there is I'm afraid

Hi every one,
Please confirm.Am i right in thinking there are no passenger lists for Ireland to England 1850-c1860?
