I am trying to find information on my great great grandparents I know they married in middlesbrough in Jan 1890 they were both from Ireland he was a fireman on a steamer and they had a daughter born in 1890/91 called mary Ellen my great great grandmothers maiden name was Bolton but when I check the census for 1901 I can't find them then in1911 mary Ellen appears married to Edward Blair but nothing in between especially for Thomas not even a death any help would be much appreciated

Have you got their marriage certificate for their Father's names, their ages (possibly) and anything else useful?
Have you found them in 1891 census?

Is the daughter definitely Mary Ellen?

Who were witnesses to the marriage?

Perhaps they went back to Ireland for a time? (Note daughter Mary was born England)

Added: Sorry, did you add that 1901 later, or was I not reading it, was looking for any further clues?

Added: Yes, but census does say Glasgow not Scotland, from your amended entry.

Thanks Patchem- didn't realise you added the 1901

Did you think they are Tinninghams or Finnighans - probably Irish Finnighans, wonder if connected by birth also?

Possible James E Finnigan in 1891 Scotland

Added:
No, he still looks to be in Scotland in 1901.

Looks like Finnighan to me

Thank you all so much I'm positive that ellen and thomas were in Ireland of very good at this so thank you so much

Angela...It may have been better to continue on you previous thread on Find Ancestors Board (2010)...would have saved duplicating info.already found..
