No, I believe he was a Captain on a ship or mariner until old enough. I think his wife was from Gillingham and that's where they ended up living. Thank you for such quick action. I would like to find out more about them....seems to be dead end every which way...must be looking in the wrong places!

Hi, my great, great grandparents where Peter and Bridget (Coreless) from Tuam, Galway as well.
Your great grandmother was Mary Ann and my great grandfather was Michael. They were brother and sister. They ended up in Farnworth, Lancashire.
My great grandfather was also called Michael (born in Farnworth) and he married Clara Stocks and immigrated to Canada with his family. I am also a Birmingham born in Canada. I am also looking for the parents of Peter and Bridget in Ireland and when and why they left Ireland.
Any help you can be would be appreciated.
Thank you
