Oops!

I meant his family moved from Ireland.

That’s what I get for messaging late at night!

Hi

Thank you both for your replies.

I can kind of see McRorie, it's very difficult for me to decipher so I really appreciate your help.

Thomas was born in Bonhill, Dumbartonshire in 1844.  He moved from Ireland just a few years before with his parents and older sister Mary Ann (born Ireland 1839).  Which part of Ireland I'm not too sure although DNA points heavily to Co Mayo and more concentrated to Achill Island.

Thomas and Mary Ann Corrigan/Kerrigan were married in St Patrick's RC Chapel, so one or both must have been Catholics.

He moved his family to North Shields and sadly drowned in the River Tyne in 1892

I will explore the suggestions of the surname Flood

Thanks again for your help

Sorry, I've attached full census for 1851 and 1861 - George Davies is the bottom of the page for both.

Thanks for your help

Thanks Stan - I know exactly where that is now.  I've walked past it many times and never would have guessed that my GG Grandparents lived there!
