Ireland / Re: CoastGuards/HM Customs Officers

Hi Anne
Yes got all that information thanks. From the 1841 - 1891 census (excluding 1871) it just has Ireland for them both (John & Margaret). At this moment in time I have met another cousin (3rd) and we are both working on finding out where about in Tiperary & Limerick they came from. We are stuck at the marriage stage which would give his last location before coming to England.
I am sure they married in Ireland first. I would imagine Margaret went with him (to Devon) as his wife rather than fiance. There's another puzzle, they had 8 children from 1837-1851 4 boys and four girls, one boy died aged four. They moved about there quite often but the big move from Shaldon in Dorset to Hoose (now Hoylake) here in Wirral, the three boys are not with them but the girls are. I may have found one son in 1871 but not the others. Other little brick walls crop up for the next 40 years!

Many thanks for you advice, I will be looking into all avenues to track their original whereabouts
as will my new found cousin and Uncle


Regards

Mike Hayes

Hi Shane
Thanks for that. With a "new" cousin on board who has contacts in Ireland this "wall" may soon be knocked down. Fingers crossed.

Many thanks

Mike

Ireland / CoastGuards/HM Customs Officers
« on: Thursday 30 April 09 11:45 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace (if possible) where my 4 x Great Grandfather John HAYES came from in Tipperary. John was a coastguard/HM Customs officer born about 1811 and married Margaret RAFFATY in about 1836. Margaret was from Limerick. They were living in Devon from 1837 until about 1860 when they moved firstly to Hoose (Hoylake) 1861; Parkgate (Cheshire) 1864; Liverpool (as HAYS on census) 1871 then lastly in Birkenhead from about 1881 until his death.

I have quite a bit of information on John except where he (and Margaret) were born and also where they married (Ireland or UK). They had several children 4 boys (one died young) & 4 girls. The three remaining boys stayed in Devon as far as I know, and the girls moved with their parents to Wirral from Devon somewhere between 1854-1861.

I have researched the coastguard list, and although John and the family are on there, there is no indication as to where they originated from in their respective counties. I have been told that it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack but, what the hey, you gotta try somewhere!

Any help would be gratefully received.
