Forget that, found him in 1871 with his parents. Couldn't quite believe there were 2 John Dolans born Stoke by obviously were.

Thank goodness for that Christine, it was driving me mad not being able to find them!!

Finally found them, mistranscribed as Dolar and Lockey.

Still doesn't help you Kelly, sorry but it was bugging me.

Thank you everybody for replying so quick. In 1851 they were living in St Lukes in the borough of Finsbury London. There is Lacky Dolan Head 32 years old, Margaret 36, thomas Dolan who's 9 i think the daughter is Bandfold she is 7 and John dolan who is 2 all were born in Ireland except John Dolan he was born in staffordshire Stoke-upon- Trent. the address they were living at was 22 longs buildings. In the 1871 census Margaret dolan is widowed she is the head living with Katherine Dolan she is down as being son's wife and katherines son my Gt Grandfather John Alexander Dolan he is 5 months old they were living at 1 waterloo place, St lukes, Finsbury, London. In 1851 and 1871 the surname is spelt Dolan in 1881 it's spelt Dolon. Thanks again for trying to help me.

Is this the one you mean in 1851, I had been looking for one with a wife Margaret.

I don't think this can be the one Kelly means as reading through the post again he had children with him in 1851, unless I've misunderstood.

Kelly is it spelt DONLIN on 1851? Basket maker?
It actually says DONLIN on the census form too

Is Margaret the widow of Lackey in Durham in 1871?
There is a 63 yr old widow I can see.

I can't find them either Christine.

Kelly which part of the country are you talking about? As you can appreciate there are a lot of Dolans born Ireland.

Where were they living in 1851, I can't even find them in that year.

Were they mistranscribed?

Hi i wounder if anyone can help me please. I am trying to trace 2 death certificates The first one i'm trying to find is for my Gt Gt Gt grandfather. I know he came over to England from Ireland around 1848 i can locate him in the 1851 census but that is it. His name is Lackey Dolan i do not know if this was his real name it appears on his youngest son's birth cert as Lackey but in the 1851 census it's spelt Lacky. I can not find the family at all in the 1861 census, then when i go to the 1871 census i can find Lackey's wife Margaret but she is widowed, i have search between 1851 to 1891 but can not find a death cert at all i really am at a loss as what or where to search next. i am also having the same problem locating a death cert for my Gt Gt grandfather i have obtained a marriage and birth cert for him but no death cert. Again i can only find him in the 1851 census being the youngest son of Lackey John Dolan. When i look up the 1871 census i can find his wife but not him then when i go to the 1881 census i find his wife again but this time she is widowed so again i have search the time period needed and more but can not find the death cert. Please if anyone could help or point me in the right direction i would be so greatful . I would also love to no why i can not locate Lackey or John in any other census if anyone has the answers please let me no.
