Ireland / Re: Dalhunty, Dulhanty, Delahunty etc Irish?
« on: Tuesday 08 March 11 09:50 GMT (UK)  »
I went on the chatterbox on here and someone very kindly found my missing link....I knew that Michael Dulhanty b. 1841 in Manchester according to censuses and from his marriage cert I'd established that his father was James Dulhanty, Shoemaker.  Someone found James Delanty, Shoemaker, with son Michael on 1851 census for Manchester.  This states that James his wife and 6 of their children born 1831-1842 were born in Ireland (sadly no area listed) and that the 7th child was born in Manchester in 1850/51.  This meant that Michael had falsely given Manchester as place of birth on later documents.

I was pleased to finally find the link to Ireland although I dont hold much hope of finding where they were from etc.

How dd you get on tracing past Michael Dulhanty b c 1841according to 1881 census, although marriage cert says 1836.  I cant find any record of his birth or any record on censuses except 1881 & 1891 (where place of birth is stated as manchester)...we're descended from his son Owen.

I've managed to get back further with the ther branches of the famiy but this sides been a mystery.....

How can someone not be on censuses?...you say he used 2 dfferent forenames????

Any help gratefully received :)
