I have been searching for ggrands Michael and Bridget Nicholson. Using Irish Origins through the Origins Network I find in the 1841 U.K. Census Irish Strays Michael Nicholson listed in Cheshire etc. and Bridget Nicholson in Staffordshire etc. The ages seem about right from what else I know. What would be the probability of these people being my folks? Any speculation as to why they would not be living together in U.K.? They had young children but none are listed in the Census. In Griffith's 1857 Michael Nicholson is listed in Donegal, Townland Rossbeg and Bridget Nicholson in Donegal, Townland Naran as a Freeholder. My ggrandfather James Nicholson son of Michael and Bridget arrived in Boston, Massachusetts in 1860. Any suggestions for further research? Griffith's lists also Poor Law Union Glenties, Barony Boylagh and Parish Inishkeel for both Michael and Bridget. David Nicholson
