Find Ancestors

Could sks help at all please? I am well and truly stuck with my research and cannot get any further back than Thomas Danaher bc 1823 Ireland son of David. Thomas's first recorded entry that I have found in England is his marriage to Margaret O'Brien. On their certificate of Feb 1850 at Holy Trinty Church Bermondsey, Thomas is noted as a widow aged 28 however his age [and mispelled surname] changes throughout the census's and on his second marriage certificate in 1879. In the 1851 census he has 2 children the eldest Ellen aged 8 born Ireland, David as born St George's East London, I suspect Thomas came to England with Ellen when he was widowed. This is the 1851 Census 1851 England Census Record about Thomas Danaher Name: Thomas Danaher Age: 28 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1823 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: Margaret Gender: Male Where born: Ireland Civil parish: Stepney Ecclesiastical parish: St Philip County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street address: Essex Street Occupation: Bootmaker Condition as to marriage:Married Registration district: Stepney Sub-registration district: Mile End Old Town Upper ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Household schedule number: 79 Household Members: Name Age David Danaher 11 Mo Ellen Danaher 8 Margaret Danaher 28 Thomas Danaher 28 David aged 11months [above] married in 1870 to Margaret Waugh, I have never found him or his wife in the 1871.she remarried as a widow in 1873. Another mystery is the death entry has neither been located and I have trawled the gri . If you could help at all and perhaps point me in the right direction I would be very happy. This has driven me nuts for 4 years almost now! Anyone have any ideas? Thank you Sally

Hope this helps, Estelle

Thank you. I have all the census details and as you can see his surname is mispelled and his age differs! My brick wall is his birth and his son David's demise in 1870's. Best wishes Sally
