Hi.. I am hoping somebody can help with information on Rowland William Deevy, born Manchester.
After his marriage to Sarah Pollitt at Manchester cathedral in 1847 he seems to disappear. I have tried various surname changes but nothing! Hope a Rootschatter will be able to help with this brick wall.
Thank you.

Father is Terence on the 1841 - occ Tailor - marriage cert says father is Thomas occ draper. 1851 shows him as Thomas b Ireland
His mother was also Sarah and the 1854 death was a 64yr old as per www.LancashireBMD.org.uk

thank you everyone for your help so far.
I don't have any info on Sarah Pollitt.. I have looked at the Rowland Deevy in America in a directory and it states he is a clerk...
