Thanks for all your help! her father was thomas(b1831) and her mother was called catherine (b 1832) although. Just a quick question though, do you know if it was normal for Parents to leave behind their offspring when emigrating to america? I think it was possibly due to the potato famine of 1846. Thomas' father was called Patrick (b 1877) and his mother nancy they were both born in Sligo and I have found their burial site at a cemetery in New York. (Thanks for your funny feeling reg!) I have no clue as to what happened to Thomas during this time!! |

How do I access 1881 census I thought they missed that out on here Reg! |

Belinda | Report | 5 Dec 2007 11:03 |
Thats the weird thing Reggie I cant find anything on her apart from the census's I mentioned!! I've only just noticed that her brother is living with her on the 1901 census. I had a look on the 1871 census but that isnt the same catherine miller. I know it was June 1884 when she married Adam Miller and I know it was in liverpool but I've drawn a blank to anything else. |

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me out there...I'm trying to find birth parents of a Catherine Sweeney b 1866 she married Adam miller in 1884 but I dont find nothing on her before the 1891 census when she was aged 25 and living in liverpool. She had a brother boarding with her and her family named Patrick Sweeney b 1878 by the time the 1901 census came out but cannot find anything before then. can anyone help find out any more information for me please? As I said I have the info from the 1891 and 1901 census but cant find anything before that. |
