This seems to be the Templeton family I am researching , my great Grandmother was Margaret Temple/Templeton born 1838 in Whitehaven , her father was John Temple Coal miner on her marriage cert.note the surname....On the certificate of my grandmother the name was Templeton. It was probably the accent but the name Temple is on some of the census returns also . I don't have any earlier information though .

to continue-
John CONWAY/CONAWAY probably born Avoca Co. Wicklow 1814 (his brothers James bap.1810 and Joseph 1815 were both baptised there)
Married MARY FLOYDE (born Sligo) in Leeds 1838
Their children were all born in Leeds then they moved to Eighton Banks Durham before finally moving to Willington Quay
John was living in Nelson Street when he reported his mothers(Frances Costello)death in October 1881However n the census he as a lodger with his Son in Law John Smith and daughter Frances at 3 Pitmans Row. His mother was with her daughter Ann Flanagan in Nelson Street

There were six other related families living in Nelson Street in the 1881 census
No 6 Michael Honour
no.22 Ann Flanagan
No.25 Robert Daglish
no.50 Andrew Daglish
No.64 Francis Pennock
No.67 Frances Gibson

I have been researching  my family for many years and am still searching for some who are very elusive .Frances Costellodied in Willington Quay in 1881, after the census was taken. I found an obituary for her that said she was born in Co Wicklow Kildare in 1780 and so was In her 102nd year. She had 20 children 6 of whom were still living. James Conway was one of them  he was also living in Nelson Street Willington Quay where he had a shop ,he had been living there with his wife Hannah and various relatives from the early census returns. there was John Conway who registered her death.
Michael Conway was the first husband of Frances whom she had married in Avoca Co. Wicklow Ireland in 1810 .I have found the baptisms of three children James Joseph and Catherine then the family moved to Bolton in Lancashire where more children were born and baptised in the Roman Catholic church there. in 1832 Frances Married again  a plasterer called William Curry and had a daughter Mary, then in 1841 they are living in Newcastle where husband number three was living. This is a very complicated family to write in one message. in the 1881 census a lot of the family were living in Nelson Street.
My direct ancestor was Ann Conway one of the daughters born n Bolton in 1825, she married while they were living in Newcastle before moving to Willington Quay.I can give more information if anyone thinks it of interest. []Honour is another name a daughter married.
