I was thinkng that i have searched the walse and scotland census... the problem with most families in that time was the use of christian names the amount of john amd michael fitzgeralds as is astounding. I have found some people who could belong to the family living in lancashire but only could and am starting to feel like i'm clutching at straws...

I also am now trying the american census to see if they tried to make it there but came back ...
