I have enquired of friends who have done Rugeley transcriptions. They have not done the St Joseph & Ethedreda RC records but took the trouble to respond with this. I will keep the query in mind and look it up next time I go to Stafford. John Yes we think you are correct that the RC hold their records, but I have just found that Staffordshire Records Office hold the following: Rugeley 1836-1873, 1845-1914 general register 1853-1861 Marriages So these details might be useful to them. Ken looked for the family in the 1861 census and they were living at Kington, Herefordshire – details: William Hannan 45 Railway Porter Dublin Catherine Hannan 37 Dublin Ellen Hannan 10 Rugeley Sophia Hannan 5 Switzerland Eliza Hanna 3 Switzerland So the family have certainly travelled about Sent from my iPad

Many thanks John. I wonder why they ended up in Switzerland for a while, although it is possible the two girls born in Switzerland were not theirs. This particular family apparently left Ireland, several brothers, who all went to different places.
