hi everyone i am having another go at trying to find my irish rellies i keep putting them to one side as i dont seem to be getting very far with them.
this is them on the 1861 census. i have a couple of problems the parents seem to be too young for the 3 oldest children ?? the youngest margaret is my great grandmother but i dont know where these children fit in . also i cant find them on the 1871 - margaret is a lodger in farnworth lancashire and she marries my great grandad patrick o'neill in 1872
any help with this one would be great

Since the father is older are the older children from a previous marriage ?
