Sheffield, 1853 Is anyone on the list researching Thomas Donovan b. 1853 to James and Margaret (nee Hagen) Donovan (both b. Ireland) Thomas' siblings were John b. 1856 in Hartlepool, DUrham Catherine b. 1859 also Hartlepool. In 1861, they were on the Scottish census living in Castleton. Then, they moved to Hartlepool and then to Wigton, Cumbria, where my grandmother, Ann, (Hannah) Donovan was b. in High Ireby in 1862. James and Margaret both died and are buried in Wigton, Cumbria. My grandmother was known as Annie Mary Elizabeth Donovan and married Thomas Grisdale of Penrith in 1885. If anyone is researching any of the Donovan's listed, would love to hear from them.
