Hi
I would appreciate if you could help locate my great grandfather Peter Drake (b)1863 Ireland. He was living in Preston in 1887 when he married Adelaide Flynn my great grandmother.
Kind regards

I don't know why Lucy (daughter) is missing off the 1901 census as I searched for a death cert for her but didn't find one.
I think they continue to have more children another birth in 1906 a possible son Peter born Preston
-
Thank you very much, I don't know how you do this so quickly! Lucy was my very dear Grandmother. They were a very large family, sadly her two sister and brother died, I have their memorial cards.
Would you be able to find out where her Adelaide's mother was living in 1891 her name was Johanna Flynn (b) 1843 husband Henry (b) 1843, son Thomas, daughters Mary and Annie.
Kind regards

Need to search for Henry's death on freebmd.org.uk prior to 1891, I am presuming you have found him on the 1881 census.
-
Couple of possible deaths for Henry Flynn, ages are a little out if born in 1843.
Deaths Jun 1882 FLYNN Henry 39 Preston 8e 421
Deaths Sep 1885 FLYNN Henry 33 Salford 8d 75
-
Looking again I think the death in Preston is more likely to be your Henry
-
Lucy is with the Flynns in 1901
