Sorry about earlier. PC was just being a pain!! Have checked out that possibility on the 1871 with Thomas born 1837 but I don't think it's the right one because it has him as Son in Law which means that they are staying with her parents - and her surname was either Kilroy / Conroy and the ones on this are Clark. Thanks for helping everyone. No doubt they will turn up eventually.

Yes that's the family on the 1881. Sorry for delay. PC is playing up. Will check replies later. Sorry.

Wow - you all answered at the same time!! OK, first off, I don't know anything about Thomas Furay so I don't know if he was a soldier. I also found that Fort Grange lot, but I still can't find Ellen on her own if she was at home waiting for him so I don't know - that's in my 'shoebox' on Ancestry to go back to if anything ties in with it. This Kilroy / Conroy thing has been going round a bit. I found Kilroy, but a connection on GR said it was Conry and that Kilroy was a typo. But yes, that is the right wedding. As for the Thomas born 1837 with Mary E - ??? I don't know. All other census have her down as Ellen but it could be a possibility. Will check it out. Thanks everyone.

is this the 1881?? 1881 England Census Record about Mary Jane Furry Name: Mary Jane Furry Age: 9 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1872 Relation: Daughter Father's name: Thomas Mother's name: Elen Gender: Female Where Born: St Helens, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Parr County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: 44 Pocket Nook St Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Scholar Registration district: Prescot Sub registration district: St Helens ED, institution, or vessel: 22 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Catherine Furry 5 Elen Furry 29 Elizabeth Furry Margaret Furry 7 Mary Jane Furry 9 Thomas Furry 30

found this marriage, is this the right one?? Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1870 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference FURY Thomas KILROY Ellen Oldham Register Office or Registrar Attended Oldham RM/22/121

Was Thomas a soldier? At Fort Grange, Hampshire there was a Thomas Fury, soldier in the 88th Regiment, born 1850 in Ireland.

Ellen's maiden name was Conroy. Even if they were living with her family, they wed in 1870 so I should still be able to find an Ellen Furay born 1851 in St Helens. Thanks for trying. I guess it's just another thing to bug me for a few months!! Thanks again.

Hi Andrea Have been searching, but with no luck. What was Ellens' maiden name?? Could they be with her family?? Marie

Hi All. I'm looking for a Thomas Furay and his wife Ellen in 1871. He was born in Ireland, born 1851/52 and she was born in St. Helens, Lancashire also born about 1851. They wed in Oldham, Lancashire in 1870. First daughter was born in Oldham in 1871 / 72. Have found them on all other census but can't find them on the 1871. Spelling on Furay varies. Have tried all variations I can think of. Ellen has also been spelt with just one L - Elen. Can anyone else find them pls??

Pls see below. Thanks.
