I am trying to trace any information on Bridget Donoghue who shows on the 1861 who is an Unmarried 30year old servant and 6 year old John Donoghue, lodger, both born Ireland, living No. 12 Albion Street, Lime Street area, Liverpool.
Can anyone advise if they show anywhere on the 1871 Census or what County in Ireland they originated ?
I appreciate this request is a "long shot" .
Regards
Tony Donoghue

and did you try the RootsIreland site? for a birth of John in Killarney, County Kerry?
Additional information about the background to this request is here http://liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10530

If you believe there is a Killarney connection, you could try the parish record website at www.irishgenealogy.ie and search through some of the parishes in and around the town. It would be a good idea to try to find John or Bridget on other English census returns to see if a more precise place of birth is given. Donoghue/O'Donoghue is quite a common surname and it would be easy to link up with the wrong family.

p.s. RootsIreland doesn't have any Co. Kerry records.
