Indexed as Megee in 1861!!  Michael b 1823 not 1827.   Mary b 1826 Birmingham

Ann Catherine appears to be their eldest child aged 5 given the marriage was 1848

do you think they could have travelled abroad for a while as there is an 8 year gap between marriage and first born child.

Very much doubt it.  Even if they did - it wouldn't have stopped them having children
