Hello Janet, Thanks for the interest, I`m hoping to crack this one soon, with a little help from my friends, as they say. I`ve been searching the 1891 census of Manchester for ages looking for him and my gt gran, I know my gt gran`s here in 1881 but seems to disappear after that along with the rest of my Irish lot. I found Michael FLYNN in 1901 but even that`s not straight forward. I recognise the address as somewhere another member of the family is later on, but would you believe it, I have two Michaels here, similar age. Regarding my gt gran Maria QUINN my mother has always insisted that she was born in Cobh or Queenstown as it was then in Cork, though a cousin later corrected her on this, telling her it was Tipperary, though he seems to have been right in other bits of information, I`m wondering whether to aim a little more south. Could you look on your disc`s to see if there any Maria QUINN`s born circa 1861 in Cork, Cobh in particular. She had sister`s Sarah and Bridget and a brother Tim that we know of. Tim is rumoured to have got mixed up with the Fenians and eventually fled to America. Nothing else known about him. Thanks once again for the help. George Carter in Whaley Bridge. Michael in 1901 but which oneRG13 3705 95 15 84 32 Bedford St South Manchester South West Division Of Manchester Hulme St Michael Borough Of Manchester Samuel Knight Head M 51 M Ironmongers Porter Worker Ireland Mary Knight Wife M 42 F Undefined Ireland Michael Butter Nephew S 16 MCommercial Clerk Worker Ireland Robert Weir Nephew S 26 MTrain Driver Worker Ireland Michael Flynn Boarder S 38 M Navvy Worker Ireland Thomas Comer Boarder S 30 M Navvy Worker Ireland Michael Flynn Boarder S 36 M Navvy Worker Ireland
