Sorry you'll need to pay the pound for the transcript or £3 for the original as I couldnt work out who's who without buying it, but they appear to be the right ones.
It will give their address too. and probably be signed by Alex so its nice to have the real thing with his handwriting too.

Re your query on the 1911 census info provided you would need to look at the actual image to see the places of birth and relationships -James and Bernard might be nephews or cousins and esther is apparently calling herself Quinn by now -figures shes earned it!

I am a bit puzzled by the info u sent.
Esther born 1874 never had Alex Quinn's name she was Cockbain. They never married.
Do you know who James was born 1876? We have never had the name mentioned before or Bernard.

I am trying to find my gt grandfather Alexander Quinn born Killyleagh Norther Ireland in 1851. He lived in Whitehaven Cumbria later, which year i dont know. He married Isabella Mirehouse in 1874(she was from Liverpool) they had 4 children Margaret, Richard, Mary, and Selina. Isabella died in 1888 aged 34. He remarried a Margaret Hetherington Of Whitehaven in 1889 and had 2 children , Isabella and Richard. After thatthings are a bit hazy. then Alexandermet Esrher Cockbain she was from Birkenhead and although they didnt marry. she had 9 children with him, Alex, Martha, Sara, Emily,John, Esther, Florence,and Margaret.
If anyoneout there has additional information about AlexQuinn. I would love to hear from you.
