Title: James McEvoy c. 1825
Post by: isiwig on Tuesday 04 March 25 13:17 GMT (UK)
Please can anyone throw any light on James McEvoy born c. 1825 in Liverpool or possibly Ireland.  He married Elizabeth Rourke and had 6 children.  No marriage record found for this couple but their first child Annie Teresa McEvoy was born in Liverpool in 1855.
James McEvoy's possible parents are James McEvoy and Mary Ann Corcoran both born in Ireland.
Would be grateful for any help.  Thanks. Isi.

Hi CaroleW,

Thanks for your reply.  Sorry, only wish I could but I cannot find the family in 1861.  Three children born before 1861 in Liverpool.  Annie 1855, James 1857, Catherine 1859 and Peter July 1861 all baptised in Catholic Church.

1871 census correct mis-transcribed in name of McRoy .  Death of James correct.
