Hi please could I have some help on finding the births and marriage of Michael Stanley ( Dublin I think ) & (Margaret ) Bridget tomlin (??!)

These are the parents of a Mary Bridgett Stanley 1826/28 who married Thomas Powell in stoke on trent in 1844

I found Bridget tomlin on a census with Thomas & Mary Bridget ( then powell) and that's why I think Brigette is Tomlin & from dudlin hope this makes sense.

Mary Bridgett Stanley was born in Fenton stoke on Trent according to the censuses

EDIT but not this one if the one in 1871 just added by Austin Q is correct, and it looks most likely :-)

who is james powell? ... James Powell Son M 7 Fenton, Staffordshire ... this is why I'm pretty certain I'm right back to James Powell 1820. Emma.


(occ. of Michael Stanley 1844 Marriage image (FMP) Stone Cutter?)

I have a 'Tick' coming up, as previously viewed.

James Powell is Mary Bridgett Scandin or stanleys whatever it is ( husband) I'm trying to work back now via Micheal Stanley & Bridgett tomlin who are poss from Dublin

Rambling

Rambling Report 24 Oct 2017 20:13

but we don't actually know Margaret's surname? as noted that Tomlin is just a mistranscription on the the 1871 census

I can't see a marriage for Michael in Dublin, using https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/

Oh right so 1871 tomlin is not right ? Also interesting she's reverted to the maiden name and thehusband is possibly in the workhouse on the same 1871 census
