If someone could do a lookup for me, I'm looking for a Patrick and Maria Mahan/Mahon in Dukinfield, Cheshire. Both were Irish-born and their ages were somewhere in the neighborhood of 23 in 1851.
Thanks

Hi Mike
They are not on the 1851,if your sure they should be there could they be living with others ? if so they may be indexed under another name, do you have any other census details for a Patrick and Maria ?

Hi Peter
Thanks for doing the lookup.
I'm fairly sure they were in Dukinfield in 1851. It's possible the name Mahon could have been written as it was pronounced, Mann. Does your index have a Patrick Mann in Dukinfield?

Hi Mike
I think this is them living as lodgers. If you have any problems reading the scans let me know.

Hi Peter
Thanks! That's definitely them.
I see just before Thomas Mann on page 14 there is a Mary Ann Mann in a different household. Could you please give me a screenshot of her household? I think she may also be related.

Hi Mike
No problem,I thought you might ask. There are two other Mann's in that household.

Hi
I'm new here and I'm amazed at the information on offer. My maiden name was Mahon. Father Patrick Vincent Mahon (1926-2003) and mother Olive Elsie Dunn (1925-). I am having trouble locating Mahons as my grandfather was born in Wexford, ROI (1894), and came to this country to fight in WWI via Liverpool. His parents were John Mahon and Mary (Laughlin????). How do I start to find my Irish ancestors, as I believe an awful lot of records were destroyed?
Any help would be appreciated.
Judith Johnson (nee Mahon)

Hi Judith
Welcome to Rootschat
Can I possibly direct you to our County Wexford board via the link below where there is more knowledge of that area, please give as much detail as possible.

Hi Judith
The destroyed Irish records were, for the most part, the Irish censuses taken before 1901. The civil registrations of births, marriages, and deaths, since they began in 1864, still survive. And the parish records, some going back to the 1600s, also still exist.
You should begin by acquiring a copy of your grandfather's birth record. That willl give you both the name of his parents and where in Wexford he was born. From there, you can then order a copy of his parents marriage record which will give you both their ages and their fathers' names.
I don't, however, have any experience in ordering certificates from Ireland. So you would have to leave a message on one of the Irish boards to learn the correct procedure in obtaining Irish birth and marriage records.
Hope this helps
